Issue/Introduction

USS is not getting installed. USS Windows services don't appear and the installer fails when validating the installation.

In install.log:

DEBUG [DeployThread: Instalación de Unified Self-Service] [InstallOSOP] Starting Unified Self Service install/upgrade.

Environment

Service Management 14.1 and later
Unified Self-Service (USS) 14.1 and later

Cause

Symantec Antivirus is blocking and stopping the installer to complete the installation. The install.log should show:

[CommonProcessUtilities] Command executed sucessfully
[InstallOSOP] Unified Self Service Exit Code: 0

instead of:

[CommonProcessUtilities] Command terminated with exit code: 1
[InstallOSOP] Unified Self Service Exit Code: 1
 

Resolution

1. Ask the administrator to stop Symantec AntiVirus processes in the server where you will install USS.
2. Close USS installer
3. Run USS installer and proceed with the installation once Symantec AntiVirus processes are not running.
