## Symptoms

- "Previous installation was not completed. Before a new installation, you must restart your system to complete uninstallation of Check Point Endpoint Security VPN" error message when installing Endpoint Security Client using Baramundi

## Cause

When installing the Endpoint Security Client, using Baramundi, there is an option to use the multi-language installation feature.

Selecting this feature will install the Endpoint Security Client in the language you have chosen, and then will continue to install the Endpoint Security Client with a "secondary" language, which causes conflict. The error "Previous installation was not completed. Before a new installation, you must restart your system to complete uninstallation of Check Point Endpoint Security VPN" is displayed.

## Solution

Two options are available:

* Manually install the Endpoint Security Client in order to see if the installation is successful.
* Perform Silent Install, **not using multilanguage feature**.
