Unable to find the port:PharosPopupPort

The Windows installer leaves a "ControllerLog.txt" file in the user's %temp% folder. In addition to receiving an error message during installation, the following entry may appear in this log file.

Sample ControllerLog.txt Contents

[2018/09/17 18:07:10.121 P8DF0 T7E0C Controller] [CRunInstructions::DoStep] A PSException was caught: "Unable to find the port:PharosPopupPort"

To resolve this issue, you'll need to completely uninstall the client, following the Windows Client Cleanup process, and specifically delete the following registry key:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Pharos Systems Popup Port Monitor"

Print queues are not added on MacOS

If the macOS installer finishes successfully, but does not automatically add the CNU Print Anywhere queues, you may need to remove any old or existing drivers to prevent conflicts. Follow the macOS Client Cleanup process, and be sure to delete the existing Konica Minolta driver files.

Windows Client Cleanup

In the event of a failed installation on Windows, the following steps should be taken prior to attempting a re-installation of the client.

Start out by running the Pharos uninstaller. Give the program a chance to clean up as much configuration as possible in a normal manner.
Delete the program folders

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Pharos\"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\PharosSystems\"

Launch the Windows Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and delete the following registry keys

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Pharos"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\PharosSystems"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\Pharos Systems Popup Port Monitor"

Restart the computer.
Re-try the installation.

macOS Client Cleanup

In the event of a failed installation on macOS, the following steps should be taken prior to attempting a re-installation of the client.

Start out by running the Pharos uninstaller, to give the program a chance to clean up as much configuration as possible in a normal manner.
1. In Finder, use the "Go" menu, select "Computer", and then double-click the local hard drive.

McAfee Antivirus flags client installer as malicious

Some versions of the McAfee antivirus/security software can flag the last portion of the client installation as malicious/virus activity, and may block the installer from completing successfully. If this occurs, you should see an on-screen warning from the McAfee software.

As a workaround, you can temporarily disable real-time scanning in the McAfee software, then re-run the Print Anywhere client installer. Once the Print Anywhere client has been installed successfully, you can re-enable the real-time component of the McAfee software.
