stanislawa 0 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Hello, I have purchased a ESET Smart Security for my PC (Win8.1 x64). The problem is I can't use it as installation stuck at 0%. Where's logs or any debug switch or something to check what's the problem? I have tried online and offline installers. Newest and few older. The same problem. Cheers.

itman 1,542 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I would start by running Eset's AV Remover tool: https://support.eset.com/kb3527/ to verify that no other AV products are installed and to remove them. If this tool can't remove them, then you will have to do so manually. Reboot your PC. Now try to install Eset Smart Security again. If it again hangs during the installation or doesn't install successfully, then do the following. Download and run Eset Installation Fixer: https://support.eset.com/kb3544/?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US . Reboot. Now try to install Eset Smart Security again.

stanislawa 0 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 There's no any AV software and there weren't, even no built-in by MS. I have tried ESET Installation Fixer (all the ways of use) before I have created post. Didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,542 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Did you do this? Quote Always create a new folder for an installation package and Save or move the installer to this folder before running it. https://support.eset.com/kb2885/?locale=en_US&viewlocale=en_US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanislawa 0 Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 @itman Yes. Didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itman 1,542 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 The only other thing I can think of is you have some malware on your PC that is preventing Eset from installing. You might want to create Eset SysRescue bootable media and run an off-line scan with it and see if it detects and removes any malware.

Administrators Marcos 4,716 Posted May 17, 2019 Administrators Share Posted May 17, 2019 For a start please generate a Procmon log during installation and then collect logs with ESET Log Collector. Compress the Procmon log, upload both archives to a safe location and drop me a message with download links. Also I'd recommend opening a support ticket for your local customer care so that the case is properly tracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanislawa 0 Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) @itman Fortunately, there's no malware. @Marcos Before sending you a logs by ESET log Collector and Procmon, I have disabled all applications like virtualbox, openvpn, tor, etc. and installation went through successfully! I still wonder what blocked and why installation isn't constructed to throw away what's wrong, however that's not my problem anymore. Thank you so much for help and fast support, I do appreciate it.

My best guess to the network blocking activity was OpenVPN and/or possibly Tor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanislawa 0 Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 @itman There was active network connection; what's more installer has connected to ESET servers to check my license key. I just want to suggest that should be information thrown on the screen what's wrong instead of stuck at 0%. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
