Installing trial version 5.1 fails at SUM installation

Hello,

I am trying to install Endpoint Enterprise console and it keeps failing at the installation of Sophos Update Manager with an error: The MSI Terminated unexpectedly error

Installing on Windows Server 2012

I see this in the logs, any ideas?

Thank you,

  • HI,

    Firstly I should say that Windos 2012 is not a supported platform at this time.  That's not to say it will not work (I haven't tried to say for sure) but just to let you know that you might be up against it.

    Can you search the MSI log of the SUM installation for:

    Return value 3

    Then paste here 20 lines above that?

    Regards,

    Jak

  • Here it is:

    It apperars to be a problem with the domain name.

    Should I try to have the user account for SUM to be a local user on the Server?

    Thank you,

  • Yes, I did install with local accounts instead of domain accounts and it worked.
