Multiple Symantec Product Vuln

[SawPer]

Be warned!
I have the same problem as Sickofnorton. Never had this much trouble upgrading Norton as with this version 10 of SAV CE. I'm using the Windows version for Win2000/2003 Server.

Usually a reboot fixes the problems, but not in my case, I may have to do what TheHorse recommended, using the removal tool... sigh!

Thanks for the heads up...
Havent updated to 10 yet...but will hold off for a bit

I have had a problem with 7.0 and 7.5....to update I had to remove old version and install the new...after removing\reinstalling each module you had to reboot....I think there was a total of 16 that day....no app should make you reboot a server that many times

As for the removal tool...they developed that after having to walk all customers through hacking the registry every time they had to update\reinstall...must have cost them dearly in Tech Support...not to mention the irrate customers

Well, I can tell you this. I am a beta tester for Symantec and I will not be deploying version 10 until at least MR1 comes along. I can't tell you the specifics of why I wont because I have signed an NDA with Symantec but again, I'm looking at the fall as my deployment start. By then I'm sure at least one maintenance release will be out.

As a side note, I have attached the tool to this thread for those who need it. Getting through to "Gold" support is a pain in the arse.

There is a password on the file. "symantec"

Yes, this is from the vendor.

TheHorse,

Thanks a bunch! I may need this tool more than I thought...!
Some servers install just fine, but it is so inconsistent! Haven't found any common denominator at all so far, just random servers won't take the upgrade, and errors out in different ways...

However I really like the new version, with all the new features. It even found Adaware that neither SpyBot or Adaware found... !

Plus the fact its using certificates, making the connections more secure, nice improvement.

TheHorse, so if you can't give us any details, could I just ask a "general" kinda question?
If I was able to install version 10 successfully, would you still recommend waiting until MR1?
(like, the installation part is where all the problems are, or even if you are able to install it, it could still give you issues?)

Thanks again!
