How To Install SEP Client on Windows 7
REMEMBER THAT ONLY SUITABLE VERSION FOR WINDOWS 7 IS SEP 11.0.5 RU5
Sometimes SEP client is unable to install itself on Windows7 operating systems.
The problem is connected with 2 issues.
1. EXE file extractor[FreeExtractor] is not working correctly.
Sometimes on Windows 7 setup.exe file cannot automatically extract into %TEMP% folder.
To resolve this issue You need to Extract setup.exe file application like Winrar and install SEP using setup.exe or *.msi file in extracted folder.
2. Live Update application cannot be installed.
To resolve this problem You need to perform first step from point 1. but in hear firstly You need to install Live Update using LUSETUP.exe file after install it using setup.exe or *.msi file.
Second solution is to install SEP as unmanaged client.

Live Update application cannot be installed
Hi Sezam,
what can be linked the problems about installing the Live Update? From a customer, installing the SEP Client RU5 managed through a single EXE file, has some problems installing the Live Update both on Windows 7, both on Windows XP workstations. As a rule, simply install the Live Update separately and then install the SEP Client, resolve always the problem, but having to do massive installation on many workstations, it can not certainly be a viable solution. Have you suggestions? Thank you very much.
Cause: Symantec is
Cause:
Symantec is currently investigating this issue and will update this document when a solution becomes available. This install error occurs because the LiveUpdate installer package did not update correctly when the client package was downloaded via LiveUpdate. Windows 7 and Windows 2008R2 require a newer version of LiveUpdate than was included prior to Symantec Endpoint Protection RU5.
Solution:
Work around for issue:
This will need to be done for both the 32bit and 64bit clients.
Another approach
Hi Rey-IT
thank you very much for the help. If I understand well, the problem concerns only those configurations of the SEP Manager, for which the SEP RU5 installation package was downloaded advance through the LiveUpdate. If I remove the RU5 installation package from the SEP Manager and install it again by taking it from the first cdrom of SEP RU5, you think the problem is resolved?
