When you install the Trend Micro Security for Mac (TMSM) Plug-in, the following error shows:
Error: An error in the Plug-in Service program occurred. Unable to upgrade the Trend Micro Security (for Mac) server. The product's database cannot be reinstalled. Contact your support provider for help in resolving this issue.
The issue is caused by the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{AA096B41-7254-4F59-9672-4BB31C3A6570}
When this key is present, the installation seems to be doing a reinstall or upgrade instead of a fresh installation.
Upon checking the TMSM_PreInstall.log, it shows log snippets similar below:
