Symantec Endpoint prevents .NetFramework programs from launching

Hello,

We have a few laptops, different Dell models using Windows XP SP2, that
are having a problem with .Net 2.0 and Symantec Endpoint. Whenever a program
that uses .NetFramework attempts to launch we receive errors, different
errors depending on the program. An example is when I try to launch Virtual
Infrastructure Client 2.0 (VMware client), I receive the error "VPXClient.exe
- Fatal error".

CLR error: 8007000b.
The program will now terminate.

I know that it has something to do with the permissions between Symantec
Endpoint and .NetFramework because I can run the program using "run as" and
using the domain administrators credentials. Also, If I uninstall Endpoint
all the programs that were affected launch without any issue.

I have already put a ticket in with Symantec and hope that they are able to
resolve this issue. I just want to stay ahead of the game in case they say
that it is not there issue. Just thought that maybe someone in here might
have a clue.

Please be gentle as I am not a programmer.


Appreciate any help,
Matt

I'm going to give you my honest opinion, bases on several negative
experiences with Symantec products over the years.
Get the Symantec stuff off the PC's and prevent existing and future
potential problems.
Symantec *will* (I predict) close your ticket as "not our problem". At
minimum, you will have to persist and escalate the issue by demanding to be
put in contact with supervisors and managers to get any real action at all.
If they finally do acknowledge the problem (which will not happen unless
*many* customers with the same issue get up in arms) resolution will be
slooooow.
I've been down this road with Symantec more than once. Result: I will not
allow a Symantec product on any of the 300 machines in the college
department I chair.

Thanks for your response.

So far I have found that there is a component on Symantec Endpoint 11.0
called "application and device control" that seems to be causing the issue.
Using the custom install option, I made sure that this component was marked
to "not" install. It is a work around for now, hopefully Symantec will fix
this.
