Cause

Symantec Antivirus issue

Resolving The Problem

Symantec Antivirus services must be stopped during installation. Just disabling it through the quick launch taskbar does not work. Adding exclusions is not sufficient either.

If Symantec services cannot be stopped then contact your Symantec Support so that they find a solution to this.
