Some time I face with customer which have a problem with continuous SEP installation.

This could be connected with 2 problems:

1. Domain or Local User privileges are to restricted[remember to much restrictions is also not good. You need to know how to balance with restrictions]
2. Installation is corrupted.

This problem is annoying because Windows Installer want to install SEP client continuously which can be very nervous.

Solution for this problem is to:





1. Find UninstalString value for Symantec Endpoint Protection which is situated in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

2. Paste this string to command line with changed option /I to /X (  ex.  MsiExec.exe /X{68B52EFD-86CC-486E-A8D0-A3A1554CB5BC}  )

Please Help! I have a Dell Computer, Windows XP Media Center 2004. I keep getting a pop up box (like every 2 minutes) "Windows Installer beginning Installation" It NEVER installs it just keeps reappearing I have tried letting it run, hitting cancel, unplugging. Nothing makes it go away and it never installs it just keeps popping up. I can't uninstall because it never installs. I have no idea where this came from but it has been going on for several days now. HEELLLLPPPP
