Vware
I think that link is broken. I tried clicking on it and it didn't take me anywhere.
I also unfortunately found another problem. I cannot install hot fixes I get an error LU1812 when using live update. I tried downloading manually and installing. It was looking for the MSI file, but when I pointed to the location in the Symantec install path in SEPM\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manger.msi it comes up with an error that it is not a valid install package for the product. I've also tried using the one on from the iso from when I downloaded the product, and it came up with the same error.
The only thing so far I tried was unregistering regsvr32 %windir%\system32\msxml3.dll and reinstalling the Microsoft XML Parser.
I'll look into this one, but just wanted to throw that out there in case it is related
On that same note I do have service pack 1 installed and hot fix 167567
Thank you
