To download the McAfee Agent from the www.mcafee.com website, see KB54808 .

Solution 2


Common Management Agent

Solution 1 - Obtain FrameworkManifest.xml from another computer:


  1. Locate another VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) computer where the updates are working without error.




  2. Copy the FrameworkManifest.xml from the following path:

    For VSE 8.5i  (running on Windows Vista)
    x:\Program Data\McAfee\Common Framework

    For VSE 8.5i (running on Windows XP and earlier)
    x:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\McAfee\Common Framework

    For VSE 8.0i (running on Windows XP and earlier)
    x:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Network Associates\Common Framework





  3. Paste the file to portable media or network share that can be accessed by both computers.




  4. Click Start, Run, type services.msc, and click OK.




  5. Right-click McAfee Framework Service and select Stop.




  6. Copy FrameworkManifest.xml to the Common Framework directory.




  7. Right-click McAfee Framework Service and select Start.




  8. Update the product.



Solution  2 - Delete FrameworkManifest.xml and reinstall the Common Management Agent (CMA)
It is necessary to delete FrameworkManifest.xml because it may not be removed or replaced when an uninstall/re-install is undertaken.
Step 1 - Allow VSE files and settings to be modified (VirusScan Enterprise 8.5i and higher only)


  1. Click Start, Programs, McAfee, VirusScan Console.




  2. Right-click Access Protection, then select Properties.




  3. Select Common Standard Protection.




  4. Select Prevent modification of McAfee files and settings and disable this option.




  5. Click OK.



Step 2 - Delete FrameworkManifest.xml and reinstall CMA:


  1. Delete FrameworkManifest.xml from the following path:

    For VSE 8.5i (running on Windows Vista)
    x:\Program Data\McAfee\Common Framework

    For VSE 8.5i (running on Windows XP and earlier)
    x:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\McAfee\Common Framework

    For VSE 8.0i (running on Windows XP and earlier)
    x:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Network Associates\Common Framework





  2. Restart your computer.




  3. Re-install the Common Management Agent (CMA) / ePO agent.


    NOTE: CMA is available for download from the McAfee Downloads site. See KB54808.


Memory Limits for Windows Releases



Memory Limits for Windows Releases

This topic describes memory limits for supported Windows releases:

Limits on memory and address space vary by platform, operating system, and by whether the IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE value of the LOADED_IMAGE structure and 4-gigabyte tuning (4GT) are in use. IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE is set or cleared by using the /LARGEADDRESSAWARE linker option.
Limits on physical memory for 32-bit platforms also depend on the Physical Address Extension (PAE), which allows 32-bit Windows systems to use more than 4 GB of physical memory.
