"Capture Client Setup Wizard ended prematurely"
Capture Client Setup Wizard ended prematurely because of an error. Your system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, run Setup Wizard again. Click the Finish button t exit the Setup Wizard.
Resolution
a) Steps to be followed if you are a Non-Domain User: -
- Go to programs/SONICWALL/client protection services folder and change ownership in properties->security->advanced->owner to myself (should have admin privileges)
- Then edit->add user “everyone” and give full control
- Delete CPS folder
- Go to ~programs (x86)/SONICWALL/capture client folder and change ownership in properties->security->advanced->owner to myself (I have admin privileges)
- Then edit->add user “everyone” and give full control
- Delete contents of folder, specifically SONICWALL Capture Client.exe
- Reboot
- Ensure folder/files are removed
- Reinstall
b) Steps to be followed if you are a Domain User (with local admin privileges) and not able to change the ownership: -
- Create a folder under C (install drive) drive with some random Name (Ex: CC).
- Move "Client Protection Service" Folder from C:\Program Files\SONICWALL to C:\CC folder.
- Move "Capture Client" folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\SONICWALL to C:\CC Folder.
- Go ahead and reinstall the Capture client using the MSI file downloaded.
If you are unable to move the folder to different drive/folder and get an error saying access denied, perform the following steps: -
- Go to programs/SonicWALL/client protection services folder and change ownership in properties->security->advanced->owner to everyone by clicking on change owner.
- select replace owner on sub containers and objects, click apply and OK.
Go back to ~programs/SonicWALL/client protection services folder and change ownership in properties->security->Edit>select users and provide full control permission>click on Apply and OK.
