     /VE /T REG_SZ /F /D "Service"
     
     
 3.  Boot the machine into Safe mode (without Network).
     
     
 4.  In Safe mode, open a Command line "as Administrator".
     
     
 5.  Run the command: net start msiserver
     
     
 6.  Wait until the following message appears: The Windows Installer service was

 8.  Select 'Check Point Endpoint Security' and press 'Uninstall'.
