    Hello,

    Try removing SEP client using msiexec command. You need to create a small batch file with the help of following article.

    To uninstall the Symantec Endpoint client using comand line 12.x:

    1. Log on the system with administrator rights.
    2. Find the Symantec Endpoint Protection uninstallation product key:
    3. Click Start, then Run.
    4. Type regedit to open the Windows reistry editor.
    5. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\
    6. Browse the Uninstall sub keys in the left-hand pane, check the values in the right-hand pane to find a value for DisplayName that is Symantec Endpoint Protection.
    7. Copy the uninstallation key.
      For example the key for Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.671.4971 is A3AEEA68-AC93-4F6F-8D2D-78BBF7E422B8.
    8. Click Start, then Run.
    9. Type cmd to open the Windows command prompt.
    10. At the Windows command prompt type:
      msiexec /X {product uninstall key}
      For Example: msiexec.exe /x {A3AEEA68-AC93-4F6F-8D2D-78BBF7E422B8} /passive

      To generate a detailed uninstall log type:
      msiexec /X {product uninstall key} /I*v! log file path

    • Example: msiexec /x {A3AEEA68-AC93-4F6F-8D2D-78BBF7E422B8} /lv!* c:\uninstallSEP.txt

    Note: If the MSI uninstall has stopped responding:

    1. Click Start, then Run.
    2. Type taskmgr
    3. Click the Processes tab.
    4. Click End Process for all of the running windows installer processes by: Right-clicking onmsiexec.exe then clicking End Process.
    5. Repeat this task for each instance of "msiexec.exe" listed.
