Sophos AutoUpdate error

Receiving the following error

Failed to install SAVXP: there was an error in a registry entry

Version 9.7

  • Hi,

    We would need to see the SAV install log and SAV custom action log that goes with it.  As AutoUpdate is installing SAV, they should be in \windows\temp\.  The files are:

    • Sophos Anti-Virus Install Log_<timestamp>.txt
    • Sophos Anti-Virus CustomActions Log_<timestamp>.txt  

    There is a pair at each install attempt.

    Regards,

    Jak

  • okay... how do I send these to you???

  • You can probably paste the contents of the custom action log file into a reply.  As for hosting the accompanying  MSI log, you'll have to host it somewhere online, there are quite a few free hosting sites.  The custom action log file might be enough, you can start with that if you like.

  • HI,

    Thanks for the log howerver I can't say for sure what the problem might be from that log alone.  if you can't host the msi log somewhere to go with it you might have to open a Support case I'm afraid.  http://www.sophos.com/support/queries/ .

    Regards,

    Jak
