ERROR: Unable to create Cab Installer Object (when updating Total Protection for Small Business

Step 1 - Obtain the values stored in szDownloadServer and szXMLDataServer to use in Step 2:
  1. Click Start, Run, type: regedit and click OK.
  2. Navigate to the following location:
    [HKLM\Software\McAfee\Managed Services\Agent]
  3. Locate the keys szDownloadServer and szXMLDataServer.

    NOTE: The Domain name specified is being used for regional Network Centre (NOC).

    Example
    Key values for Germany would be:

    - szDownloadServer: http://vs.mcafeeasap.com/MC/DEU/VS40

    - szXMLDataServer: http://vs.mcafeeasap.com
Step 2 - Check the correct Network Centre Domain is also listed in the SecureObjectSites section
The aim in this step is to verify the following locations are both specified:
  1. Navigate to the following location:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\McAfee\ManagedServices\SecureObjectSites]

    Example registry key:
    "http://mcafeeasap.com"=dword:00000000
    "https://mcafeeasap.com"=dword:00000000
    "https://mycio.com"=dword:00000000
    "http://mycio.com"=dword:00000000
    "https://nai.com"=dword:00000000
    "http://nai.com"=dword:00000000
    "https://mcafee.com"=dword:00000000
    "http://mcafee.com"=dword:00000000
    "file://dontcare"=dword:00000000
    "myui://dontcare"=dword:00000000
    "myrm://dontcare"=dword:00000000

    NOTE: In this example both keys values are populated but with this issue the keys will be missing.

  2. While in the SecureObjectSites section, in the right pane right-click and select New then DWORD Value.
  3. For the DWORD, enter the http Domain name extracted from the SzDownloadServer entry in Step 1.
    Example: http://mcafeeasap.com
    NOTE: Ensure to remove the vs from the Domain name obtained in Step 1 (http://vs.mcafeeasap.com)

  4. Remaining in the SecureObjectSites section, in the right pane again, right-click and select New then DWORD Value.
  5. For the DWORD, enter the https Domain name extracted from the SzDownloadServer entry in Step 1.
    Example: https://mcafeeasap.com
    NOTE: Ensure to remove the vs from the Domain name obtained in Step 1 (https://vs.mcafeeasap.com)
