  • 1.  SEP 11 Install takes 8 or more minutes to install

    We are deploying SEP 11 via a batch file which does the following.
    "MSIEXEC.EXE /I "%APPL%\Symantec AntiVirus.msi" /qb REBOOT=ReallySuppress RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 /l*v %APPL%\INSTALLLOG.TXT"
    Everything installs fine, but it is taking to long to complete.  I've identified in the log file where the install just hangs, but I don't know how to interpret it.  As you can see it is attempting to do something 25 times, incrementing the wait by 1 second each time, totalling over 5 minutes.  I've also attached the full log file.  Does anyone know what could be causing this?

    Thanks

    What build are you installing? This issue was addressed in SEP 11 MR4 MP1.

    Cycetech,

    Thanks for such a quick response.  The version we are installing is 11.0.4000.2295
    Other then updating the build, is there a way around this?

     hi RHSteeleOH,

    Cycletech might have a possible workaround for you, but I don't know of a workaround and they only documentation I can find on this error says that the upgrade is the only fix. I think you will want the upgrade anyways because the newest version fixes other issues, and in my opinion is much more stable. Why were you hesitant on upgrading?

    Grant_Hall,

    No issue with upgrading, we're downloading it at this moment for testing.  I'm very curious though to what was causing this issue, it may come up again with other products in the future.  Thanks for your reply.

     That portion of the install times-out after 25 attempts when two registry keys are not set properly.This happens when upgrading from certain versions of SAV to SEP.

    I hope this answers your question.
