Search for SEP_Inst.log - should be in %TEMP% folder.

Hi Sebastian,

I have searched on server and I cannot find the sep_inst.log. I cannot find it anywhere on the server.

Hello,

SEP_INST.LOG should be in either your user's temp folder of the Window's temp folder (C:\WINDOWS\temp).

...if you have already received cleanwipe from support let us know if the clean installation fixed the issue.

Well, it maybe that the installation failed at a point where the log was not created yet. It's rare but can happen.

If MSI got far enough to log an error, then there should be a SEP_INST.LOG file somewhere on the filesystem.

Hi,

Could you please share the Symantec case number with me?

If credentials are not sent to download Cleanwipe tool then I can look into the same.

Hello Eyal,

Support cases cannot be opened or closed via the Symantec Forums.

You will need to manage your case online or call in in order to re-open this case.

Hi James,

 

Not a problem I re-opened a new one yesterday and the cleanwipe utility did the job. We can now install SEP smiley

I must say Symantec support is fantastic and im sooo impressed.

Thank you all for your assistance.
