Solution

1) Delete all files from :

2) Use the Windows Disk Cleanup tool to free up space.

3) For instructions, read the document (in English)

4) Important: If the Host drive (Most of the time its C:\) is Compressed with lots of Old Compressed Files, make sure the old files are either Deleted (incase they are unwanted) OR Uncompressed. Those could be the reason of the issue.

5) To free up space on your hard drive delete files and temporary folders of Windows.

Temporary Files and folders are created when you install programs during normal operation of Windows. Although they are temporary, sometimes not deleted causing problems.

In many cases the removal is a safe procedure because no longer needed. If in doubt, however, instead of deleting files and folders as requested in the instructions, move to a different folder or external media, such as a CD.

There are  multiple reasons for the above error message "LU1832: LiveUpdate could not read an update. LiveUpdate was not able to decompress an update"

The virus definitions are getting corrupted by a firewall, or the previously downloaded updates are corrupt

Please try the following steps to resolve the issue.


1. Stop the SEPM service and then delete only the contents of
 "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\LiveUpdate\Downloads" and
 "C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp"

Delete the 9-digit numerically-named folders (the micro-definitions) inside each of the monikers, the long alphanumeric folders in  "\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Inetpub\content"

2. Start the SEPM service.

3. Open the command prompt and navigate to "\Program Files\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\bin" and type in the following command, "lucatalog -cleanup" and press enter & "lucatalog -update" and press enter again.

4. Try running the Liveupdate from the SEPM.

(Note:  There is another LiveUpdate issue that might occur after performing the above troubleshooting steps in some scenarios. The LiveUpdate would be successful but still would not download the virus definition updates and show a note that, "No updates found for Symantec Endpoint Protection Win64" & "No updates found for Symantec Endpoint Protection Win32",  This is because Liveupdate is not integrated with the SEPM. Please perform a repair on the SEPM with the installation disk to resolve the issue.)
