I am trying to install SEP v12.1.4 on a Windows 8 PC and it is not working. I was hoping someone here could help me out figuring out what is wrong. I have disabled Windows Defender. The SEP_INST.log file is attached.

Can you also post the SIS_INST.log?
What logs do I need to gather in order to troubleshoot a failed SEP 12.1 client installation?
Also, verify if its the root cert issue, you can read thru these:
Certificate error occurs when attempting to install or upgrade Symantec Endpoint Protection

Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 RU4 installation or migration on Windows fails due to outdated root certificate

Have you try cleanwipe tool before installing sep client ?
Are you trying to install Local admin account user ?
So it looks like I had a corrupt install file. I downloaded it again and it installed fine. Thanks for the help anyway.
Error :
Note: 1: 1708 MSI (c) (0C:14) [10:08:02:829]: Product: Symantec Endpoint Protection Client -- Installation operation failed.
Which is Root certificate issue as mentioned above.
