## Symptoms

- * Initial Endpoint Client installed successfully and connected to server but fails to download blades via Software Deployment.

* The `cpda.log` log shows:   
  `errorCode: 27577, errorDescription: The installation detected Endpoint Connect on the machine. If you want to install Endpoint Security you must include Endpoint Connect as one of the installation blades., name: Check Point Endpoint Total Security x64 [CDA::compRestartQuestionHandler]`

## Cause

VPN is not selected as a blade in the Software Deployment Rule, while it must be a part of the exported package and Software Deployment Rules. The Endpoint Client cannot upgrade and "remove" blade at the same time.  
In this case it is an upgrade, but the VPN was not selected. Since VPN was not selected in the Deployment Rules, this signals to uninstall the VPN blade.
