Hi all,
Having a consistent problem when reinstalling CIS on my laptop.
I recently had a problem with an unknown driver causing extremely long boot times. In troubleshooting, I uninstalled Comodo Firewall 3.9 and Avast Home. The driver issue was resolved to a problematic WiFi driver recently installed, so I went ahead and went to reinstall Comodo.
The trouble I’m having is towards the very end of CIS 3.9.95478.509 installation. Everything goes fine through the installation until near the end. I tell the wizard that Yes I’m sure my PC is clean, and all windows disappear for several seconds (like normal) and the installer’s cfpconfg.exe process pegs the processor at 100% as it finishes whatever.
Instead of the installaiton complete message asking for a restart, I get a “rolling back…” message, very quickly followed by a “Rollback done” message a second later. No error messages, no dialog prompts, nothing. Just a nice Finish button to push on the bottom of the wizard window, with no product installed.
What I’ve tried thus far without any luck:
- Manually removing any file and registry traces of Comodo
- Running the batch file made by Ragwing to remove any other Comodo traces I may have missed on the hard drive and in the registry
- Re-downloading the latest installer
- Installing in Safe Mode
- Installing as the Administrator user, not just a user in the admin group
- Installing to a different directory
- Telling the installer No I’m not sure if my PC is clean and let it do it’s thing (another forum user with a similar problem solved this issue by doing this)
…each time, I get the same exact problem with it “rolling back” the installation, without any errors or anything.
Checking if there was a larger problem, I tried reinstalling Avast and had no problems with that.
Why is the installer rolling back at the very end of installation? Is there an installation log written that I can research? Has anyone else ever experienced this?
Thanks ahead of time everyone.
