Not able to install SEP in XP

Whenever I attempted an install setup is automatically closed in task manager. I think some error occurs in registry but I don't have any registry cleaner. Please advise me of a free registry cleaner

2And.... what is SEP? – slhck – 2012-06-28T14:36:22.970

Are you refering to Symantec Endpoint Protection? – Dave M – 2012-06-28T14:51:34.940

The simple solution is to reinstall Windows XP. – Ramhound – 2012-06-28T15:01:32.373

Also, not a real question; it's XY.

If SEP is in fact Symantec Endpoint Protection, there is a possible issue that can cause this.

SEP Tech Support has a number of references. This is one that I had on hand:

Open Regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager
On the right hand side, delete the value PendingFileRenameOperations
Run the install without rebooting the PC

In some cases you may need to copy the installer locally if trying to install from a network location. Not always an issue but seemed to be in some cases.
