This issue has been solved. See solution.

I have problems when trying to install SEP11 on WIN 2008 server 64 bit.

The message that shows me is as follows:

First:Symantec Endpoint Protection has detected that there are pending system change that require a reboot. Please reboot the system and rerun the installation.

Second:The wizard was interrupted before Symantec Endpoint Protection could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again.

I try the following fix, the first message is gone but the second message remains.

  1. Navigate to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\PendingFileRenameOperations    
  2. Back up the registry key
  3. Delete the registry key
  4. Install the software without restarting the computer first (Restarting the computer may result in the registry key being placed back in the registry before installation.)
  5. Restore the registry key from the backup location.

Can anyone help me…?

Please paste the SEP_Inst.log

Please paste the SEP_Inst.log

Please go to run and type %temp%

 

Look for a file called SEP_inst.log

 

In the log file look for return value 3  and paste 6-7 lines before that

 

We need all the instances for the Return value 3

No server communication

After installing the SEP, the shield don't have the green dot. No server communication.
