Problem Installing Manufacturing When McAfee Anti-Virus is Running

If the installation stops during the unloading of the Manufacturing cabinet file and the following dialog box is displayed:

with the following message in the cxinst.log file:

Unload Manufacturing - CDROM 1
File UnloadDir\intel_a\control\Manufacturing.toc was not found

the problem may be due to the McAfee Anti-virus product.

The bypass is to open the McAfee VirusScan Console window and select "Access Protection" in the Task list.

Select the tab "File, Share and Folder Protection" and uncheck the option: Prevent access to suspicious startup items(.exe) **\startup\**\*.exe

Product Prerequisites

Due to business process requirements and additional validation testing it is necessary to restate previously incorrect manufacturing product prerequisites.

When installing some CATIA configurations, if an error occurs related to the execution of the CORBAServerInfra_post module, please, ignore it. It will have no consequence on the usage of the installed solutions and products.
