Install / Uninstall Logs :

You may need installation or removal logs when you contact Kaspersky Technical Support. Support engineers need these logs to diagnose issues that may occur during installation or removal of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows.

When you install or remove Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows, the log files are generated automatically and stored in the folder:

    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp for local installation or removal.
    %WINDIR%\Temp for remote installation or removal using centralized deployment tools.

Where:

    %USERPROFILE% stands for the profile of the user account that started the installation or removal process.
    %WINDIR% stands for the folder where the operating system is installed.

If you install the application by running the setup_kes.exe file, the Temp folder will contain the files:

    kl-install-yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.log
    kl-setup-yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.log

If you run the kes_win.msi installation file and remove the application, the MSIxxxxx.log file is created in the Temp folder.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\

2 - Start the computer in safe mode (Open Start Menu -> Search for System Configuration -> Boot -> Safe boot (Network)

3 - Open the Registry editor and delete this hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Wow6432Node \ KasperskyLab

4 - Run the KAVRemover and the cleaner again

5 - Disable safe boot and restart the computer

Check if the installation problem persists. If it does, please collect a GSI report on the affected device.
