Hi everyone.
I am trying to install Sophos Update from a server location but whenever I try to do it its giving me
Error 3061. Could not set default updating settings
I have no idea why this keeps happening and I searched online for solutions but what I found didn't work for me.
For example one of the solutions was to
Standalone computers
- Go to c:\escwsa\sau\program files\sophos\ and copy the folder called 'autoupdate' into c:\program files\sophos.
- Go to C:\Program Files\sophos\autoupdate, and make a copy of the the folder called 'defaultconfig'.
- Paste 'default config' into c:\program files\sophos\autoupdate. When you paste it in, because it is a duplicate, Windows will automatically rename it 'Copy of defaultconfig'.
- Rename 'Copy of defaultconfig' to Config.
- Go to c:\escwsa and double-click Setup.exe. Installation of Sophos Anti-Virus should now proceed correctly
The problem is that the folder defaultconfig doesn't even exist in my case. I also tried changing my computer name to something that was below 11 characters because I heard that was also an issue and I have full permissions on H_Key_Software registries.
Please help as I have no idea what to do next.
