Hi, I'm trying to install SEP 12.1.2 unmanaged client on a fresh installation of Windows Server 2012. I cannot complete setup, I receive a generic 1033 error on eventlog that isn't useful for troubleshooting. I used also SymHelp and it says that Operating system meets the requirements for the installation.

- Win2012 is a fresh install with all updates and drivers

- Symantec Endpoint 12.1.2 is also a fresh install

- UAC is disabled

- Windows Firewall is disabled

These are the last lines of SEP_LOG, it seems there's a problem with the validation of the SEP_fileset.xml file:

[...]

HI,

Try to disabled UAC and windows firewall

Open the setup file and try to install liveupdate first and then the sep install

2) If, that does not help, follow the Steps below:

In the registry,

Find

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\AppData
value=%APPDATA%

and change it to

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\AppData
value=%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming

Install SEP client again.

If above registry value is not as written, please make the changes and after changes, reboot the machine and reinstall client.

3) Also Try the Article below,

See - SEP client installation is rolling back with MSI error 1060

Check as per following documentation:

The Symantec Endpoint Protection client will not deploy through the network to a Windows Vista, 7, or Server 2008 system

Hello,

Upon checking the logs, we see the below errors:

IDCCA: SETI::CUploadFile::logout200 OK

In other words, 1602 means User cancelled installation.

I would suggest you to try working on the steps below:

• Create a folder at the root of the local drive and name it TEMP.
• Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
• In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab.
• Click Environment Variables.
• Repeat the following steps for both the TEMP and the TMP User variables:
  1. In the User variables list, select the TEMP variable, and then click Edit.
  2. In the Variable value box, type %drive%\TEMP, and then click OK. 
     
     Note %drive% is the local drive where you created the folder in step 1.
  3. Repeat steps a and b for the TMP variable, if it exists.
• Repeat the following steps for both the TEMP and the TMP System variables:
  1. In the System variables list, select the TEMP variable, and then click Edit.
  2. In the Variable value box, type %drive%\TEMP, and then click OK.
     
     Note %drive% is the local drive where you created the folder in step 1.
  3. Repeat steps a and b for the TMP variable, if it exists.
• Click OK two times to close the System Properties dialog box.
• Click Start, click Run, type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
• At the command prompt, type the following command to verify that the TEMP and the TMP environment values are equal to%drive%\TEMP:
  
  
  set t
  
  Note %drive% is the local drive where you created the folder in step 1.

Hope that helps!!

@ A@shish:

As I mentioned in my first post, I've already:

disabled UAC

disabled Windows Firewall

then:

- i've installed liveupdate successfully, but this doesn't help me with SEP client installation problem

- I've followed the link that talks about MSXML, I re-registered dll's, installed MSXML 6.0 sp1, with no luck

@Brian81

The full log is already posted in my first post

@SebastianZ

I'm trying to do a local installation, not a remote, I've already used "symhelp" for best practise and it says that is all ok for a local installation

@Mithun Sanghavi

I've tried to change TEMP location but this doesn't help, the error is the same:

Hi,

Do you have try to change registry value ?

Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) client installation is rolling back with MSI error 1060

the registry key is yet 

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\AppData
value=%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming

I've already tried the solution in your last link as I already said... is the same link you posted in your first answer...

cheers

Marco

hi Marco,

right click on the setup.exe, select properties, do you see a tab called UNBLOCK? if yes select that tab and run it as admin.

After several tests I've found a workaround/solution:

- Install Symantec endpoint manager

- Export an unmanaged client installation with server settings

- Install the package

- Remove Symantec endpoint manager

I still didn't understand why installing only an unmanaged client without installing the whole manager, doesn't work even if it is supported

anyway the solution above works

cheers

Marco
