Event ID 1 for Sophos Antivirus

 

I contacted Sophos and received the following message from their support team:

Issue
When you attempt to install Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows 2000+, version 7.6, the following error is displayed:

No versions of component 'MessageResDSFactory' are registered. MessageResDSFactory cannot be returned.

There may be an additional message, error, or warning relating to a permissions/group membership issue. This is a false warning.

Sophos Product and version
Sophos Anti-Virus for Windows 2000+, version 7.6

What to do

Open a command prompt and type,

regsvr32.exe "C:program filessophosSophos anti-Viruslocalisation.dll"

In order to do this, you may need to remove yourself from the "sophos admin" or "sophos user" groups and then add yourself back.

If you continue to have a problem you can contact Sophos support at [email protected]
