  • 1.  SEP 12.1 RU5 Hangs on package update

    Posted Dec 13, 2014 05:12 PM

    Like the title says - I installed this the other day and it started to hang on the live update. The live update gets down to "Downloading update package (1 of 1), 0% complete" and hangs. It blinks on this and sometimes flashes a fail. I only have an option to cancel. 

     

    I have done a repair, a remove and reinstall and every time it either hangs on update package 1 or 2 or 3.. This time it's update 1. 

     

    I have no clue whats going on but help would be appreciated.

    TIA.

    Can you post the log.lue file?

    On Windows XP and Windows server 2003:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\<silo_id>\Data\Lue\Logs

    On Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008:
    C:\Program Data\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\<silo_id>\Data\Lue\Logs

    This is going out to Symantec LU, not via the SEPM correct?

    What OS is this on?

    I get into C:\Program Data\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\ and then im assuming the "<silo_ID> is my 12.1.xxxxxx number

    after that there is no Data file. Maybe im in the wrong place?

    I'm running Win7 Pro

    The issue is occuring during LU.

    No log files - inside the SEP folder is -

    Folder 12.1.5337.5000.105

    and the applications: AutoExcl, Checksum, DoScan, SepLiveUpdate, Smc

     

    Inside the 12.1.5xxxx folder is:

     Folder: Bin, Bin64, Config, Res, Scripts, SmcLu, Temp

     

    and then an isolate and License file. 

     

    File path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\      and then choose above folder paths.. 

     

    For me there was no Program Data file off of C:\

    I removed and then reinstalled SEP. As I started to DL updates it hung up again. Upon bringind up hte GUI for SEP i clicked on the 'View Logs' area. Under 'Virus and Spyware Protection Logs' in the System log it registers as "Definiteion Downloader" - DL of virus definition file from LiveUpdate server failed. 

    yay.

     

    Also, when I click the liveupdate button it tells me another instance of liveupdate is running and has been detected. 

    somemthing is clearly wrong here
