Installation failure - fails to update after successful installation. Error code: 146

I'm having an issue with installing endpoint protection on a client pc.

win7 pro -

Tamper protection has been disabled via the cloud interface -

I am successful in removing the old installation of endpoint -

New installation apparently goes through successfully, except for error code returned as 146.

Sophos reports this as:

146 Cause

The update triggered as the last step of the install sequence failed in some way.

What To Do

Force an update of Sophos from the shield icon and check that Sophos is installed on the computer.

 

 

Which I take as the equivalent of "bad command or file name", e.g. useless information other than "it didn't work"

All attempts at updating fail - windows firewall is turned off - no other system on this LAN segment are having issues with sophos updates -

I've ripped/repaved sophos with no success.

 

Bootstrap log shows the following data:

  • What happens if you download this file in the browser?

    http://d1.sophosupd.com/update/be2fcbbec4e7ee0f5a09b7363919a1f6x000.dat

    Is it blocked by your web gateway device?

    Jak

  • Yes. It is.

    is there a way to fix it?
