Topic: Mcafee 8.7i Required hot fix for eng5700 update

[KewlDawg]

still nothing! i have checked now and almost everyday i take a look if something new or any update.

Thanks for checking.   I'll really appreciate it. 

So, without that Hot Fix, can we still just go ahead and upgrade 5600 to 5700?

No you cannot. You will receive an error message after what appears to be a successful update (buried within the "update" logs) stating that the product "McAfee VirusScan Enterprise Workstation has reached its end of life"

You can also see this message if you read the progress of an update line by line while in progress..

Has anybody checked this lately?

You guys looking for it(Hotfix 777352) if so, i can help you:

VirusScan Enterprise 8.7i Patch 5 and Hotfix 777352 are required for VSE 8.7i to install the 5600 Anti-Malware Engine!

Technical Articles ID:  KB75459
Last Modified:  8/29/2014

Environment
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) 8.7i (all patch versions)
McAfee Anti-Malware Engine 5.6.00 (5600)

For details of VSE 8.x supported environments, see KB51111.
Summary
IMPORTANT:

    The 5600 Engine, which is now available for download, requires a mandatory hotfix (VSE 8.7i Patch 5 Hotfix 777352). The hotfix (VSE870HF777352.Zip) is attached to this article.
    The 5600 Anti-Malware Engine is signed with a newer certificate that is not automatically trusted by VSE 8.7i. Hotfix 777352 is required to update the digital certificate information.
    This issue applies only to VSE 8.7i. It does not affect VSE 8.8.
    VSE 8.7i Patch 5 and Hotfix 777352 are both required on all VSE 8.7i systems before you can successfully upgrade to the 5600 Engine.
    Hotfix 777352 updates the McAfee Trust certificate store for your local system, and the McAfee tool vldtrustaddcert.exe is used to add the certificate to the certificate store as part of the update process. Therefore, ensure that any third-party process monitoring or enforcement applications in your environment allow this process to run.

Problem
Systems that do not have this hotfix installed will see the following symptoms:

McAfee Agent Monitor will show:
..
Update failed to version 5600.1067
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise Server has reached its end of life

 
McAfee Agent log will record the following:

I#4612 Uec     Done processing progress information
I #4612 Uec    Received ipc data from mue
I#4612 Uec    Processing progress information
i#4612 Updater    McAfee VirusScan Enterprise Workstation has reached its end of life
I #4612 Uec    Done processing progress information
I#4612 Uec    Received ipc data from mue

Solution
To install the hotfix on VSE 8.7i Patch 5, extract VSE870HF777352.Zip and either run the hotfix directly on a client or deploy it through ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO).

To verify that the hotfix was successfully applied, check the following:

    The VSE Fixes property for client systems in the ePO console reports that Hotfix 777352 is present.
    The hotfix is listed in the Windows registry on client systems in the following location. Look for Hotfix_777352.

    64-bit systems    HKLM\SOFTWARE\[Wow6432Node]\McAfee\DesktopProtection
    32-bit systems    HKLM\SOFTWARE\McAfee\DesktopProtection
