Help! Can't install Veeam Endpoint Backup

Post by Cha$ »

Hi support, I had Veeam Endpoint Backup working on my PC for nearly up to a year.

It recently stopped working for an unknown reason and would not connect to the veeam service. I chose to re-install veeam as the fix, though I couldn't uninstall either, it threw out some error "endpoint.sys" error or similar.

so i used wise program uninstaller to force remove Veeam, and removed the Veeam service from registry, and tried to re-install Veeam from scratch.

However whenever i run the setup file, I get "Failed to initialize setup program. Refer to setup logs for details"

In C:\ProgramData\Veeam\Setup\Temp , I have :

Code: Select all

I've tried:
Run as administrator
Disable anti-virus
Safe-mode
Deleting all keys of Veeam in registry
Uninstalling Microsoft SQL LocalDB
Re-installing MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Neil,

Most of the installation issues are caused by third party components, antivirus software or pending updates. If Veeam Agent for Windows fails in your environment please open a support case to investigate the root case. Cheers!
