McAfee Framework Sevice Problem

click start > run > services.msc

locate the McAfee Framework Service on the list, ensure its startup is set to automatic (right click > properties) and ensure the sratup account details are set to "local system account" (on the log on tab)

Pete

Thanks,
The McAfee Framework service is not present in the list of services.

I have upped the points value of this, as the problem has been with use for more than a week now and we have exhausted all avenues that we know about.

We have also contacted Mcafee support center, who said they would escalate the problem to 2nd tier tech support - but they have never got back to us.

Any more help would be greatly appreciated.

sorry Allen

more info

are you using EPolicy orchistrator? hav the AV agent been installed on the client? (usually called FramePkg.exe)

Hi Pete
The setup we were using was Groupshield, Protection Pilot, and Virus Scan together.
I have tried forcing the framepkg.exe to install manually.
It always seems to come down to the error installing the framework service.
Thanks

I dont actually have ePO installed , Protection Pilot is a cut down version, I will check and see if can recreate it from there.
I do have access to ePO under terms of the licence, so if needed I could install.  I cant get access to my clients site till tomorrow am,  So I will try then. Thanks

Ok
I cant install ePO as I dont have access to it.
The agent install files are within the \Protection Pilot 1.0.1\Setup\Agents\EPOAGENT3000\3.1.3\0409\InstallFiles directory i have tried to install from this directory but I get the error

Searching for previous install...
The command line parameters specified are invalid.
The installation was not successfull!

This is when trying to run the frminst.exe file.

Hello Allen, Im unfamilliar with your setup

Ive only ever created the frampkg agent files from ePO and they are system specific, i.e. each systems framepkg contains logon info and the location of the AV update database, there must be some method of creating it under your licencing, have you spoken to your software vendor?

I have been in touch with NAI/Mcafee and have an ongoing case reference, however the response is somewhat sluggish, I think they might have given up as I havent had any correspondence for 2 weeks.

Hi Pete
Finally got it sorted.  Managed to get Protection Pilot reinstalled and manually recreate the frampkg.  Stopped all Mcafee processes and services, manually ran the frampkg.exe file, this reinstalled the framework service correctly.
As you pointed me in the direction of the framepkg.exe file I will award you the points.
Many Thanks
Adam

Thanks Adam - glad you are fixed
