Environment

• App Control Server (formerly CB Protection): All Supported Versions
• Non-English (US) Regional

Cause

The patch utility is unable to find the registry values necessary for a successful upgrade, this is caused by the regional settings being outside of English (US)

Resolution

If the server is currently in this state

1. Uninstall/Re-install the Carbon Black Protection application

If after the install has been reverted to the backup taken prior to upgrade

1. Open Control Panel > Select "Region"
2. Select the Administration Tab > "Change System Locale..."
3. Change the Current System Locale to English (United States)
4. Reboot the machine
5. Perform the patch upgrade

Additional Information

• This only affects the patching utility, the full installer does not experience this
• System Locale can be changed back to the true Region after successful upgrade
