Hello,
Which version did you try to install?
Is it managed or unmanged?

Best Regards.
Fatih

Go to start and type Run

In Run window type %temp%

Look for a file called SEP_Inst.log

In the log file search for Return Value 3

Copy and paste 6-7 lines before this line

Get all the instance of Return Value 3

Download the process monitor and then run the install and the process monitor at the same time and see at which stage it is  stuck?

If this is the same machine , i think you have already invested huge amount of time, Please reimage the machine and then try to install SEP

Hi

I solved the issue by ending the msi process for the symantec uninstaller and forced to stop the uninstallation.

Then I used cleanwipe utility.It also got stuck in the same stage .I did the same forced ending the process of msi for symantec and after that gathering information disappeared and the remaining items got removed by cleanwipe.

To the particular pc I have loaded Kaspersky antivirus 2011 which is working good and installation issues

Hi

Before looking your post I solved the problem through one of my colleague who disabled those yellow marks items in the device manager.

It solved the issue and now the pc is completely working fine

Anyway thanks for your prompt reply
