Advice Request Can't install CIS on win7 ?

[global033]

Hi,
Trying to use CIS offline installer on win7 and install fail after error 2148098050. "Comodo is not signed".

I made differents verifications before posting here.
- checksum was check after downloading.
- I used two differents hardwares in order to eliminate machines issues:
win7 32 and 64 editions failed to install with same error.
win10 no error and working firewall.

Comodo stop supporting win7 ? Bug in software ? Something I missed ?

Thanks for help.

1- Ditch Win7, because no one sane security-wise would use an vulnerable OS which will not receive security fixes...
2- Ditch Comodo, was excellent when it was just a Firewall, now it is just crap and buggy (note: i was a fan before).

But i feel you won't listen my advices

Yet software will keep being supported after the Windows 7 deadline.
Probably better to look for your problems in the Comodo forums.

Is it downloading using win10 pc?

 

[global033]

yes using win10 station... but following your question, I downloaded file from differents stations XP, W10 32&64 and get the same installation failure on W7 machine.

I can confirm this.
I tried it on Windows XP, Windows 7 x86 and x64 and Windows 10 x86, and installer won't launch at all.
Windows 10 x64 had no problems.

Perhaps your issue is similar to the requirement ESET users need to install in Windows 7

Windows version support

Hi, How long will old versions of Windows still be supported by the Nod32 Antivirus application? I still have some Windows 7 and a Windows Home server 2011 (server 2008 R2) running. Is there a webpage that will list the supported Windows versions? Was not able to find one. Update: In this page, l...

Looks like you will need to ask directly at Comodo Forum.

If you right-click on the installer file, and choose properties, and then the digital signature tab, what does it say? If you double-click an entry in the signature list, Windows should check the sig and tell you if it is valid or not.

Try an older version, see if it supports it.
in the Comodo forum, there will be some solution in this regard

It seems that there have already been some reports of problems installing on win7, but the same countermeasures pointed out by @Azure are mentioned.
This comodo forum has a link to the 6882 offline installer which is more stable than the latest version. We recommend that you try it. The latest version seems to have many problems, and measures seem to be significantly delayed

I followed yours advices.

As my hardware is not the cause and my windows correctly patched for SH2, I tryed old releases until v10.2.0.6526 works. I suspect issue come from editor. Hopfully If not last release, this one is not too old !

@global033...I have a question. Where have you found your offiline installers? I have a few for Comodo but I would like to find offline for Comodo firewall v 11 for XP/Vista/7. Thanks...

It is supposed to update itself. Or you can tell it to look for updates.

 

[global033]

in stock ! Every time I install software, I keep a copy. But sorry I have not v11 but I'm also Interested.

Yes for usual use. But for me, PCs are not allowed to connect to internet. Only AV software can update and only trough a dedicated relay.

Lol then any AV or Comodo on an offline system is overkill and waste of resources... hahaha.
Just use an Anti-Exe or a light virtualization software (Shadow Defender, etc...), way more efficient.

It also protect Not Internet Connected Systems from users

try Shadow defender, once activated (Shadow Mode), everything you do on the system is virtualized and when you reboot all changes are negated.
It is the best solution for an offline system, no need even a internet connection since it doesn't require any daily updates.

 

[global033]

thanks for advice, I will try. Seems attractive...

A lot of editors thinks today that all hardware must be connected

Have a nice day
