Re-install CSA after manual removal

My client sent Microsoft's Hive Clean Tool out via SMS and one of the install settings from it caused CSA on all the remote laptops that received it to go into full lockdown mode.
Thankfully it was only a pilot that 650 users received, but the only way to fix them was to fedex them all a CD that ran a manual removal of CSA using the steps from Cisco.
Now that they are all back online, we'd like to re-install CSA. When running the original agent kit that installed it, we get a message 'unable to start CSAControl Service'. The service was removed during the manual removal, but is not installed again as a service during the install.
Platform is XP Tablet. CSA is v. 4.03. We are running the install as an admin. Does anyone have any ideas on getting it to re-install successfully?
Thanks.

Where can I get clear evidence of the supported platforms for 4.03? This could be a good reason to go ahead and upgrade all 9,000 tablets in the field.
Yes on the reboot question. We also have found that we can install 4.0 successfully. We'll see if we can get our hands on a 4.5 agent kit.
Does anyone know how to totally erase all evidence that CSA was installed on a client? The manual removal was deleting registry keys and some DLLs, but that was not a total uninstall.
Thanks.

Acrobat 10 Pro: Unable to Install Updates After Virus Removed: Receive Error 1310 ?

Acrobat 10 Pro: Unable to Install Updates After Virus Removed: Receive Error 1310 ?
Attempted to re-install the original Adobe Acrobat 10 Pro from the disk provided with the purchase; and it has put me in a trial; and is requesting that I purchase the software I already paid for, two years ago.

You can try a repair (may need to go to Control Panel>Programs & Features). A reinstall is a last resort, but if you go there be sure to uninstall from the control panel, run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, and remove any part left of the Acrobat folder. Then reboot as the administrator and reinstall. Be sure to disable antivirus during the install.

I have uninstalled, downloaded latest and installed but it still doesn't work. Why are there still files leftover even after manually removal whatever I could?

I am a Windows 8.1 user. I have followed instructions found online. But still nothing works.
McAfee is still saying Firefox is untrusted and will not run it.
I have managed to delete some folders containing Firefox but there are some still remaining.
Why?
There was never a problem before today.

Hi, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer this article] will help you to completely remove Firefox.
You should ''only'' download Firefox from [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/ Mozilla.]
If McAfee is still not allowing it, you may need to look at the settings within McAfee.
Hope that helps.

OS X Update stalled, how do I install it after manual restart?

I recently downloaded a huge update (560MB), and when I restarted the computer (automatically installing the update) it froze at about 10%. I left it for several hours before deciding to manually shut down, holding the power key. After restarting a second time, it booted straight up and didn't show that it was installing the update. Since I know I have downloaded this huge update and that it should still be on my computer - what do I need to do to install it?

you can not restart an update downloaded via Software update. if you are not sure if it's installed you can check it in system preferences->software update.
also, you can manually download that update from apple website and reinstall it that way.

Cannot run vmware installer after manually removing Workstation 10

So I have an issue with a corrupt vmdk file on a virtual machine build on Workstation 9. The vm will not boot past the Windows startup screen. That is issue #1. Issue # 2 is I cannot install Workstation 9. Here is the history of my steps. That virtual machine was later upgraded from Workstation 9 to Workstation 10 hardware compatibility. In searching around the forums it seemed like folks who had similar issues uninstalled Workstation 10 and went back to Workstation 9. I used the manually uninstall vmware workstation from the command line instructions. Which advises you to remove all traces of vmware from the various modules and folders and locations. It removed Wksta 10. Now I downloaded Workstation 9 and I am trying to install it from command line.......the process just gets stuck and goes no further. With the message on screen:
(vmware-installer.py:3378): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "murrine",
I have updated the operating system several times with sudo apt-get update. I am running Ubuntu Mint Cinnamon 17.1 fresh install with no gimmicks installed.
My system info is:
Intel i5 cpu
ASUS motherboard
2 hard drives NO RAID.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Failing to install Windows after virus removal

I recently detected a virus and our IT guy removed it successfully. It seems that the registry was "damaged" somewhere as i cannot re-install Windows. It goes past the first section (gathering files) and then +- 67% of the next
step - then I receive an error message. I also did a back up (before installation) and at 99% it showed an error and "cannot complete back up".
I was told i should re-install windows and this should correct the issues. I am also not able to do updates or sync any phones/tablets.

Try create a bootable scan with Windows Defender Offline and boot into your system and run a full system scan:

And boot into your system and attempt to repair it.

Cannot install program after begin removed from Group Policy published programs

Hello,
We recently attempted to publish a program through Group Policy to allow users to install it but due to some requirements of the installer, it did not work. We removed it as a published program and now someone who attempted to install it through that method
cannot install the program at all. When they attempt to run the MSI from their local machine (not from a server share) they get an error saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable". We tried putting a copy
of the MSI in the network location it was looking for (which is where it was when it was a published program) and ran in to the same errors as before when it was a published program.
When we ran the installer as a different user that had admin access the program installed correctly and without issue. To avoid having to run as a different user in case the computer only has one admin account, is there a way to clear the user account's
memory of the msi or something?
Thanks.

Hi,
Based on my knowledge, deployed msi application will be installed before the computer allows a user to logon if you choose Assign. Otherwise, you need to use Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features\install a program from internet to get the msi
installed.
Did you mean to deploy a MSI file to each computers? Is it not the method written in this KB?
How to use Group Policy to remotely install software in Windows Server 2008 and in Windows Server 2003
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/816102?wa=wsignin1.0#method6
If you just deploy a file from a shared network location, make sure that all your users has the permission to access the Network location.
Also, please check the policy under Applocker if there is any policy block the installation of MSI for your domain user except the admin account.

Charter Security Suite will not install even after they removed my existing antivirus

This is important to me because I am a quadriplegic who relies on my laptop to connect me to the world outside my bed aND MY SMART TV for entertainment.I tried unsuccessfully to load Charter Security Suite, I then contacted Charter tech support on 7/30 who took me through gotoassist - He confirmed that I had no existing antivirus on my laptop. He took down my firewall and again was unsuccessful at downloading Charter Security Suite. After that time I get a warning my computer has no antivirus and my windows 7 computer is unable to get automatic updates. He told me he would report the problem and I could expect a call from 24 to 72 hours from F-SECURE.I did not receive the promised call. i don't know if he did something to my computer that made anything better, but my situation is definitely worse after uninstalluing the working version of macafee. But I am really worried after he said, "It is not a real big deal, just don't go to any weird websites!" Now that I am vulnerable, i AM VERY CONCERNED AND HAVE NOT HEARD FROM F-SECURE ABOUT RESOLVING MY ISSUES AND SUBSEQUENT CHARTER TECH SUPPORT CALLS HAVE NOT RESOLVED MY ISSUES. ps - I'm getting two red flag notices since 7/30 - one regarding my lack of antivirus, and one telling me windows could not automatically check for updates! HELPDaniel.

Hi Daniel, Sorry you're having hassle with this. I'm not familiar with the Charter Suite, but I assume from what you've said, it's a rebranding of F-Secure, so the advice I am suggesting below is based on that premise. The guy who said it's "not a big deal" having no anti virus was probably just trying to put your mind at rest, but in essence, he does have a point that if you stick to known safe websites, don't open any unexpected email attachments, and don't click on any popups, banner ads, or anything else which may look suspect, you should be fairly safe, as viruses don't tend to just appear out of nowhere, without any interaction from the user. That said, while this issue is ongoing, I would suggest that you download Malwarebytes and have that running as a backup. This is compatible with F-Secure so shouldn't cause any further installation issues, and will hopefully give you some piece of mind. The next thing I would suggest is to download and run the full McAfee uninstaller, which you should find linked to on this page of Uninstallation Tools. Once you have run the tool, then run the F-Secure Uninstallation Tool to fully remove any part installations of F-Secure, and try your installation again. As I said, the above is based on the assumption that Charter is the same as F-Secure in all but name - if this is incorrect, then I apologise in advance for any mis-information, but I don't think any of the above will do any additional harm to your computer. Let us know how you get on.

CSA : Cluster not started after installing CSA 6.0.0.209

After installing CSA 6.0.0.209 on Win2003 Server,
the cluster service is not started.
The server said that the network connection service is not started.
The CSA is registered in the Management Center.
And the group is in LEARN MODE.
What is the source of this problem?

First off, do you get any events from that machine in the csamc ? If not, does it solve the problem if you disable csa and try to start the cluster service ? If so, then you could have a deny rule that has no log (even though that is highly unlikely if you are using the default policies) Also what clustering software are you using, microsoft or some other 3rd party sw ?

Manual Removal of Office 2010 during Unattended 2013 install

As I'm sure it has been discussed many times before, the Office 2013 OCT deployment does a horrible job removing all Office 2010 components properly. Even with the option to "remove previous versions of Office before installing" selected,
there will still be pieces of Office 2010 lingering behind. It has been reported to me by our support department that this can randomly cause issues with Office 2013.
In these cases, our support group must manually remove the Office 2010 remnants and run a manual repair of Office 2013. Not ideal on 1000 systems.
To bypass all of this mess, I've attempted to add a command line via the Office Config Tool to remove Office 2010 as well as Lync 2010. I have configured OCT to Run a batch file
before installing Office2013 via the "Add installations and run programs" area. The batch file has 2 lines.
\\<server>\<share>\Office2010\Install\setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config \\<server>\<share>\silentuninstall.xml
\\<server>\<share>\Lync2010\LyncSetup.exe /silent /uninstall
Nothing too fancy here. Note that this batch file works as intended if I manually run it from command line on a workstation. So, I know that all of these commands are good. Also note, the sms installer account has access to the server and
shares specified in my commands.
This seems like it should be such an easy thing for OCT to pull off, but it just blows right by my batch file as if it doesn't exist. Am I missing something here? What can I do in OCT to ensure that it doesn't ignore this command?
Thanks,
David

I've seen this sort of query quite a few times over the past few months. The Office 2013 OCT tool does a fairly poor job removing previous Office versions.
Your uninstall argument is probably failing because your referencing an xml file that resides on a server file share. Config Manager will execute your argument using the system account so its probably a permissions based issue. You can test this by running
your uninstall argument using psexec which replicates this behavior.
I've approached this issue in a different way - you may wish to look at this option instead?
Microsoft have written some Office scrub vb script files to address the issue:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2011/04/08/how-to-obtain-and-use-offscrub-to-automate-the-uninstallation-of-office-products.aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2011/04/06/how-to-perform-an-uninstall-upgrade-to-office-2010.aspx
http://marckean.wordpress.com/2013/06/18/fully-automate-removal-of-any-version-office-in-preparation-for-office-365/
You could use a batch file wrapper as your Office 2013 Configuration Manager install command – something like this would work:
@echo off
SET INSTALL=%~dp0
:Remove Microsoft Office 2010 Suites
Cscript “%INSTALL%\OffScrub10.vbs” ALL /Quiet /NoCancel
:Install Microsoft Office 2013 Professional
Setup.exe
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 > nul
Has worked well for me. Note that you would need to add an additional line to remove Lync 2010 - probably something like msiexec /x {YourLync2010GUID} /q would be best.
Cheers

Before I install snow leopard, I tried to move tiger into the external harddrive. My mac says it can't do because it is the OS X. So I installed snow leopard without removing tiger. After that, my computer often freezes. How can I remove tiger?

When you installed Snow Leopard, Tiger was replaced, leaving your programs and files intact.
What is causing your freezing problem is unknown, you can take Kappy's advice and remove everything, but you lose your files and free iLife programs that came with Tiger/new machine.
The 10.6.3 disk you "upgraded" with has the full 10.6.3 on it, but no free iLife suit, so a erase and install will remove what you already have installed.
You can try to locate your problem without the erase and install method by running through this list of fixes.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
But before you do anything, backup your personal data off the machine to a extenal drive and disconnect.
Most commonly used backup methods
Because if you have to follow Kappy's advice and wipe and install 10.6 fresh, it will cure your problem in nearly 99% of cases, but you have to rebuild everything. All programs and files.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
If this is all too much for you, then STOP and call a local PC/Mac service or competant friend to assist you.
Yuo might need to install more RAM into the machine to make 10.6 run better as well.

Solved: can't install iTunes after download

Hi all,
I like to share my experience of iTunes installation,since I took almost a week to figure out a solution for my problem, hopefully will help someone else with it!
I have a standard Windows XP Pro SP2 machine, and just got a new iPod. I went on Apple web site and downloaded iTunes 7.1.1 but after downloading ok, all attempts to run the dowloaded program resulted in nothing. No message, no warning, no error. Just nothing.
I donwloaded iTunes about 5 times before deciding I had a real problem!
Than I went on Apple support web page http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976 did everything listed there but no success.
Given I had a previous Quicktime installation, I edited the win registry and manually removed all key referring to quicktime or Apple. No luck again.
I searched the net for hours and found reference to a possible corrupted windows installer program, so I run a "sfc /scannow" from a dos prompt to double check my installation but everything was fine.
I also did check spyware and viruses with three different programs to be double sure of no malware around.
Than I started thinking it was an issue related to my PC and used a separate laptop to download iTunes again but had exactly the same issue, even trying to install it on the laptop itself!
I gave it a try downloading a previous version (6.x) thinking of a possible issue with the new release but no success. The only difference was 6.x reported installation files to be corrupted, so I smelled it could really be a download issue.
Finally I tried to download iTunes from another web site, not Apple, and ... bingo! Everything worked fine and got it installed.
I still can't figure out what exactly was the problem. It may be some issue related to my network/firewall/isp settings and the Apple dowload service. I would have serious difficulties in explaining it, but you read the entire story.
Again, I hope someone will save time and pain by reading this...
Ciao

Problems installing CS2 after uninstall

I am having a problem with CS2 after an uninstall. I recently got an error working with In-Design and it had me fix the problem of course I had to do a full uninstall and reinstall.
When I get to the auto install problem it will open than immediately close doing nothing. I have even tried to make a copy of the disc to the hard drive and install that way and it will get to the password part than stop to work.
I have also followed the manual removal instructions to remove all adobe programs.
Also tried the moving disc 1 and 2 to the hard drive mount them and run the install.
Nothing I have read so far works. Help please!

No to both I'm afraid. CS2 can't be used on a Mac running Yosemite. The only version of the Creative Suite that qualifies for an upgrade is CS5. Your options are to buy CS6 or subscribe to the Creative Cloud.

Need Help Manually Removing PSE 5.0.2

PSE 5.0.2 was working fine a few weeks ago. Then after several Vista updates I tried to it run it again last night. The organizer ran fine but both the quick and full editors froze. So I decided to re-install it.
When I initially installed PSE 5.0.2 on Vista it never showed up in the Control Panel program list. So I followed the KB article on manually removing 5.0. Unfortunately that article doesn't specify how to remove the patch. PSE 5.0 installed fine but when I try to reinstall the 5.0.2 patch it says it's already installed.
Does anyone know how to remove the patch?

Can't help you exactly, since I never "manually" uninstalled any program.
You can clean up the registry with the Microsoft tool called Windows Installer Cleanup Utility at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
Use at your own risk! Read the instructions carefully!
Next time you have problems with the PSE editor freezing, try deleting the Editor preferences, that fixes a whole host of problems.

Manually removed LR 5.7.x (CC)

After installing Lightroom CC 6, I manually removed Lightroom 5.7.x (CC) by moving the application to the trash, because I did not realize that it was still listed in the Creative Cloud-application. Could this cause problems? After a reboot, the entry was gone from the list of installed apps and everything seems to run fine. (I am running Mac OS X 10.10.3.)

For the second problem being that the catalog is open in another application, go to the folder containing your catalog. You will find a file with the .lock extension. This is a file created by the catalog, and is automatically deleted when the catalog closes normally. Sometimes it can get left behind. You need to delete that file.
When Lightroom says that the file cannot be read, it usually means that it cannot be written to the chosen destination. This tends to be a permissions problem in your operating system. Check to make sure you have write permission for the folder you are trying to import your images to.
