This issue has been solved. See solution.

I have been having this trouble for a while now and researched for many days on the forums for a solution. I have tried several troubleshooting steps that were mentioned on the forums and have not had any luck to the resolution. Please let me know if you have an idea.

Problem: Installation rolls back after getting to Configuring Services

System: Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, Service Pack 2

Agent: Endpoint Protection 11.0.5

Log File from installation (SEP_INST.log):
http://www.bluewave-computing.com/CustomerDownloads/CLS/SEP_INST.zip   <-- you will have to unzip this log.

Any help would be great, thanks.

Justin

I found this in the

I found this in the logs

""restoreSPState: Changing service configuration to SERVICE_DEMAND START for SPBBCSvc
modifyServiceConfiguration: OpenService() FAILED with error 1060
restoreSPState: Unable to modify configuration for SPBBCSvc ""

You can try this
open Device Manager- View- Show Hidden Devices 
go to Non-Plug-n-Play Devices
look for SPBBC.. right click and un-install it.
Reboot the machine try installation again.

Regedit tricks

Try this mate:

# Open the Windows Registry editor (regedit.exe) browse to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
# Verify the following Reg Multi String value PendingFileRenameOperations exists under this key.
Note: If you do not find the PendingFileRenameOperations value in the location above, this error message can be generated if there are pending changes in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetXXX\Control\SessionManager\PendingFileRenameOperations

# If HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WindowsUpdate\Auto Update\RebootRequired exists, right-click on the RebootRequired registry key and choose Export.
# Provide a different file name than in step 4 for the exported registry key and click Save
# Delete RebootRequired sub-key

(delete the value after double clicking on the "PendingFileRenameOperations" string value), no need to restart the client just perform another push install from the server.

hope this helps.

Also need to point out in the SEP_INST Log.

I see this in the last "Return Value 3"

Action ended 17:06:05: INSTALL. Return value 3.
-----------------------------------------------------------

The odd thing here guys is that this server does not have a P:\ Drive at all. I am installing the Agent on the C:\Program Files\Symantec Directory.

*Maybe my regsirty location for Common Files is incorrect.

Open the Registry Editor and

Open the Registry Editor and go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

On the right hand side right-click and modify the value of "CommonFilesDir" to C:\Program Files\Common Files.

Might be the answer right here!

I just went to registry location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion and sure enough the string value: CommonFilesDir was set to P:\Program Files\Common Files. I am making the change and running the install again.

I will repost a when confirmed.

Not the solution.

Turned off the Mapped Drive P:\ and ran install. Received at the beginning of the install "Invalid File Path P:\", and then the installation canceled.

I would manually delete that

I would manually delete that Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\SPBBC folder on the C: drive, then run the install again
