## Symptoms

- Endpoint client installation terminated intentionally

## Cause

Machine Registry contains the *value name **RegistrySizeLimit*** under HKLM\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control key, with a *value data* different than 0.  
This value limits registry size, and might cause certain system corruption issues.   
For more information go to <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/remote/honors-registry-size-limit-functionality-key-set>

## Solution

The issue can be resolved by taking one of the following steps:

* Either completely remove ***RegistrySizeLimit**value,* or set its data to 0.
* Force Endpoint Client installation with ***RegistrySizeLimit*** in place.   
  This can be performed by setting the following registry key and value  
  HKLM\\\\SOFTWARE\\WOW6432Node\\CheckPointRW\\Endpoint Security  
  REG_DWORD IgnoreRegistrySizeLimit = 1

Following each of these steps, retry installing the product.
