Sophos "Install Error" Server 2008r2

Good Morning

In frustration mode with Sophos Installation and their tech support (no response to multiple emails). We have 3 servers that I cannot get Sophos to install on. I get "Instal Failed contact IT administrator" I have tried anything and everything i could to get it to work with out any luck (uninstall, delete computer in central, run script, remove files manually and remove registry entries) below is the entry from the cloud installer log:

2018-09-12T18:20:44.1440336Z ERROR : SetupPluginCommand::onRun() failed with ComponentInstaller::InstallError: Installation failed

I posted in the wrong forum my apologies If an admin could delete that would be appreciated

Don't worry Brian, it happens from time to time!

I've had a few tricky installs of Sophos in the past on clients and servers. It's often been down to MSI corruption and the "new" MS tool has fixed this on many occasion.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed

I appreciate it's designed for workstation OS and not server, but I would try running it and see if it can "clean" out any Sophos MSI issues.

Can you post the entire SAV log it doesn't have the bit of interest.
