Sysmon V15 will not install and 14.16 quick working with latest MS updates when trying to reinstall 14.16 and v15 we now get this message, the file is there and this is the only app having a problem and only just started happening recently when we run sysmon64 -I -accepteula this comes up right away and never installs


Sysmon64.exe - System Error


The code execution cannot proceed because C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_5.82.22621.608_none_fb280a3c7926c2cc\COMCTL32.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.

    Starting with v15.0, sysmon64 runs as a protective process. We found that our Sophos AV client prohibited the install. We had to add the path (c:\windows\sysmon64.exe) to our Global Exclusion list (Exploit Mitigation).
