  • Hello  

    Did some research and found some issues with the same error code.

    2019-06-12T11:50:04.3312719Z INFO : About to execute command: CompetitorDetector

    See if this would help:

    It could be that a WMI repository is missing, which the installer is dependent on, and causes the install to fail.
    To check this: launch wmimgmt.msc, go to the properties of your WMI Control to see browse for Namespaces.

    - Our installer is apparently trying to call "SecurityCenter2" from WMI. 
    - You can check the following to see if it's missing on the machine.



    Run: Winmgmt /resetrepository, which will rebuild the WMI repository, potentially adding SecurityCenter2 if it was missing. Reboot, and try re-running the installer, 
    If this works then for Windows 8 Embedded machines, would be to incorporate the SecurityCenter2 repo into the OS image on deployment. 

     

    If the issue persists, please raise a Support case, in some cases an alternative installer could be provided as a workaround.

  • Hi DianneY,

    Many thanks for the reply. You were right in that the thin client was missing the SecurityCenter2 from WMI.  I rebuilt the WMI repository but unfortunately SecurityCenter2 did not surface.  I then checked one of our T630 (Win10) clients and the repo was present so exported/imported the WMI repository.  This got me past the initial error and allows the installer to download and initialize but then completes after 10 minutes with a failure (and to reboot).  Upon reboot, it appears the Sophos interface is present but reports 'Some Sophos services are not running'.  The log file fails with ERROR : Exception: Setup program failed with code: 1 (full log file below).  The Sophos client Events tab shows (after a reboot) that 'Competitor software removal failed with code: 14'.  This was a HP image with not AV software previously installed.  I will log a call with Support as you recommended but thought I would post here also in case you had any further ideas.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Hello  

    Great that our previous suggestion got you to move further, thanks for the feedback.

    See if the information in avremove.log will help. Check out this article for more information.

  • Hi DianneY,

    Apologies, I did check Sophos Central for the affected thin client and saw "Failed to install Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows: 80041f18." and "Failed to install savxp: 80041f18" so came across that very same document advising to check Windows\Temp\avremove.log but it was not present.

    Thanks,

    TC

  • Hello  

    You can also try %localappdata%\temp\avremove.log if it exists.

    Since Sophos Antivirus is failing to install based on the CloudInstaller log, you can check for any Sophos Anti-Virus Install log or Sophos Anti-virus CustomActions log in that same location to see what error is coming up in the logs.
