Troubleshooting McAfee Endpoint Security 10.7.x installation issues Resolve issues that occur when attempting to deploy and install McAfee Endpoint Security 10.7.x on an endpoint. Installation failures Resolve these issues that can occur during installation, then attempt the installation again. If installation fails because... Do this... Case-sensitivity is enabled for folders that the installer needs to access. Disable the case-sensitivity attribute for folders in your source and target installation paths and \Windows\System32\drivers. Required on endpoints running Microsoft Windows 10 October 2018 Update or later. Client system users don't have permission to access the user temp folder Choose one of the following: Check and update permissions as needed. Change the folder location temporarily by changing the value for the TEMP and TMP variables to c:\temp, then change them back after installation is complete (KB85033). Third-party injectors were detected. Choose one of the following: Run McAfee SysPrep to detect and allow trusted third-party software to inject into McAfee processes (KB89860). Temporarily remove or disable third-party applications that attempt to inject or hook into the Endpoint Security installation processes (KB89239). Installation package size exceeds the maximum size limit in McAfee ePO. Choose one of the following: Increase the limit before checking in the package to the McAfee ePO server. Use Endpoint Security Package Designer to remove unneeded files from the installation package. Software Catalog (Software Manager on McAfee ePO 5.9.x) is busy checking in required software packages. Wait until the packages are checked in, then begin installation again. Or, if another task is updating the Software Catalog (Software Manager on McAfee ePO 5.9.x) , you can stop the task. Root certificates are missing. Install the latest root certificates, which are required to validate the digital signatures of product files. Missing root certificates can also cause fields not to populate (KB87096). Files were left behind by a previous installation of Endpoint Upgrade Assistant. Remove these files before attempting to install Endpoint Upgrade Assistant again. The products you removed were reinstalled before Endpoint Upgrade Assistant could install the new versions. Disable features that detect uninstalled products and reinstall them automatically. Products don't work as expected Best practice: For optimal performance and protection, install the same version of the Endpoint Security modules or upgrade all modules to the latest version. Use these recommendations to resolve unexpected behavior in other products after installing Endpoint Security. If... Then... Third-party applications aren't working correctly after installing McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention, and you didn't preconfigure custom Firewall rules. Enable Adaptive mode to determine whether Host Intrusion Prevention is blocking those applications. Common Event Enabler (CEE)/Common AntiVirus Agent (CAVA) was running with Endpoint Security before the upgrade, and the upgrade occurred without CAVA. Reinstall Endpoint Security, using the /CAVA command-line option (KB88973). If you don't use the command-line option when upgrading from a previous version of Endpoint Security with CAVA, the upgrade occurs without CAVA. The endpoint stops responding (hangs) when memory protection features in McAfee Application Control, McAfee Change Control 8.x or 7.x, and Endpoint Security or Host Intrusion Prevention are running at the same time. Disable Application Control and Change Control memory protection features, then use the Endpoint Security or Host Intrusion Prevention memory protection features (KB81465). You want to check that Real Protect is installed correctly and that endpoints can communicate with the McAfee cloud for detections. To test Real Protect detection functionality, you can download and run password-protected test files (KB88828). Resolving third-party compatibility issues using Host Intrusion Prevention Adaptive modeIf third-party applications aren't working correctly after installing McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention 10.7.x, and you didn't preconfigure custom Firewall rules, you can enable Adaptive mode to determine whether Host Intrusion Prevention is blocking those applications.
