Hi, Try to disable UAC account from Control panel.

  • 1.  Wizard was interrupted when trying to install SEP. Windows 7 64bit

    Posted Apr 28, 2012 01:44 PM

    I have installed SEP on my computer before.  When the HD on my computer failed, I backed my files up on another HD and had the HD replaced.  The new HD gave me a clean reboot of windows 7 and I brought my documents/pics/music back onto my computer with the new HD.  When I went to re-install SEP, it started giving me the intallation interrupted error and I have no idea how to fix it.  There isn't really anything on my computer as far as I can tell.  Please help me out.  Thank you.

    Can you please get us the SEP_Inst.log

    Go to run and type %temp%

    You will get the SEP_Inst.log

    In the log serach for  RETURN VALUE 3 and paste 10 lines before that.

    Paste all instances of that.

    Of note, if I try to install after this failure to install that I described, it provides me with a window that says: "Symantec Endpoint Protection has detected that there are pending system changes that require a reboot.  Please reboot the system and rerun the installation."

    I have followed the advice and rebooted many times now without any results.

    Try this

    Open the Registry Editor and Navigate to

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager and locate
    PendingFileRenameOperations and rename it to PendingFileRenameOperations2 and then try to install the product.

    I entered the subset you mentioned but that item does not exist in my registry.

    Posted Apr 28, 2012 05:28 PM

    Did you tried these

     


    Primary Solution:
     

    1. In the registry, navigate to:
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\

    2. Back up the registry key.

    3. Delete the PendingFileRenameOperations registry value from the right pane.

    4. Install the software without restarting the computer first (Restarting the computer may result in the registry key being placed back in the registry before installation.)

    5. Restore the registry key from the backup location.

    Note: If you do not find the PendingFileRenameOperations registry value in the location above, this error message can be generated if the PendingFileRenameOperations registry value exists in the following location(s):
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentSetXXX\Control\SessionManager\


    Secondary Solution:

    1. Look at the registry value to see what applications are pending.

    2. In the registry, navigate to:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\PendingFileRenameOperations

    3. Locate all entries with a status of "Pending."

    4. Rename the value of that entry, placing a "2" on the end of PendingFileRenameOperations.

    5. Restart the computer.

    I tried both of those possibilities and neither worked.  Still the same response.

    In %temp% do you see a text file starting with MSI and having some numbers?

    Posted Apr 28, 2012 08:52 PM

    Serach for Symantec Endpoint Protection in them, one in which you find that is the inst.log

    Get the 10 line before RETURN VALUE from that

    Posted Apr 29, 2012 06:41 AM

    Hi,

    this is what's going on:

    1) first attempt of SEP installation

    2) failure => logs of the first failure

    3) roll back of the first failed SEP installation (it requires a reboot to be completed but you are not notified of that)

    4) second attempt of SEP installation

    5) new failure but because of pending activities to complete the roll back at (3) => logs of the second failure shows the reason of this expected second failure and overwrite the reason of the first failure

    Hence, troubleshooting of the second failure (looking for pending activities in the registry) is pointless as it does not fix the issue of the first failure but just an expected behavior in case of a second attempt of SEP installation.

    Here is what you have to do:

    1) reboot the system to get rid of pending activities

    2) clean up the %tmp% folder

    3) try to install SEP only once, you should not get a request for reboot in case of failure

    4) go to %tmp%, take the new SEP_INST.LOG and post it here

    Which version of SEP are you trying to install? Such problems should be resolved in SEP 11.0 RU6a.

    I would even recommend you to install a more recent release of SEP (RU7 or newer), as older builds are not supported on Windows 7 SP1 (http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH167664).

    I'm not sure which version I am installing since it is just a version my school gives out to the students.  If I need to install a newer version, where can I download it?  Also, If I download a newer version somewhere, I would probably need to log in or have the Symantec system see me as being a part of the licensing deal with my school and I don't know how I do that.

     

    I did have this same version installed on this computer as of 3 days ago though.  I am only having to re-install due to the failed HD that I replaced.

    Thanks.  How do I check if the windows installer service is in stopped mode and in manual?  I'm not sure where to see this or how to modify it depending on what I find.

    Or you can "right-click" the package you are trying to install and "install as administrator".  This will begin the installation of the software with "elevated priviledges"

    Is your system up to date?  Have you installed SP1 for Windows 7 and aplicable updates?

    Is this a "clean install" or was a restore disk used?

    If a restore disk was used, do you already have an AV/Firewall combination that was installed?

    Unregister and re-register the Windows Installer
     

    1. Click Start, click Run, type MSIEXEC /UNREGISTER, and then click OK. Even if you do this correctly, it may look like nothing occurs.
    2. Click Start, click Run, type MSIEXEC /REGSERVER, and then click OK. Even if you do this correctly, it may look like nothing occurs, or you may briefly see an hourglass.
    Then try to run the Install again. If it works good else come to the next step

    Hi,

    the school is then responsible to download and give you an updated version of the product.

    If installing SEP is required by the school, they should also assist you further in resolving this issue, eventually by contact the Symantec Support Service and get a deeper analysis of the issue.
