Error 1309 installing Endpoint Security

[cjfsoares]

Hello,

I'm trying to install Endpoint Security client on a Windos 11 Pro, but keep getting the same error on the same file.

Error 1309. Error reading from file: C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\...\CheckPoint\Endpoint Security\EPLamDriver\EPlamDriver._64\eplam.sys.
Verify that the file exists and that you can access it.

Didn't find anything about it. Does anyone ever got this error? 

Software versions:
Windows 11 21H2
Endpoint Security 88.61.1009

Update, solved the problem by installing a previous version (86.40). Still, would like to know if anyone got by this issue?

Thank you for your help.

You sure you're talking about *21* H2 and not *24* H2?
I'm pretty sure E86.40 is not supported any longer (it's definitely old).

You're right. Not 21H2 but 22H2.
I'm sure about Endpoint client version that was installed. 86.40, now i'm on 88.60 through remote updates.

For what its worth, I tried asking Copilot AI, but since it kept saying "failed to fetch" for some reason, this is what chatgpt gave...

*******************

Error 1309 is a common issue that occurs during the installation or update of software, indicating that the installation process cannot read a required file. In this case, the file causing the issue is related to Check Point's Endpoint Security software.

Possible Causes:

1. Corrupted Installation Files: The installation files may be incomplete or corrupted.
2. Insufficient Permissions: The installer might lack the required permissions to access the file.
3. File Path Too Long: Windows has a limit on the length of file paths, which might be exceeded in this case.
4. Temporary Files Issue: The required file in the Temp directory may have been deleted or blocked by antivirus software.

Solutions:

1. Verify File Location and Existence

• Navigate to the specified path (C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp) and check if the file exists.
• If the file is missing, try re-downloading or extracting the installation package.

2. Run Installer as Administrator

• Right-click on the installer and choose Run as Administrator.
• This ensures the installer has the necessary permissions to access files.

3. Clean Temp Files

• Clear the Temp directory to avoid conflicts:
  1. Press Win + R, type temp, and press Enter.
  2. Delete all files in the directory.
  3. Repeat with %temp%.
• Retry the installation after clearing Temp files.

4. Re-extract the Installer

• If you're using a compressed installer, re-extract the files to a shorter path (e.g., C:\Installer) and retry the installation.

5. Disable Antivirus Temporarily

• Antivirus programs can block access to installation files.
• Temporarily disable your antivirus software and try running the installer again.

6. Check File Path Length

• Ensure the installation path is not excessively long.
• Extract or move the installer to a directory with a shorter path.

7. Repair or Re-download the Installer

• If none of the above steps work, the installation package might be corrupted.
• Re-download the installer from the official Check Point website.

8. Use Check Point Support Tools

• If you're unable to resolve the issue, consider using Check Point's support tools or contacting their technical support team for further assistance.
