The resource file version does not match the version

Problem: After reinstalling HDD, there is an error "SfManRes.dll" with Symantec Endpoint

Reinstalling the SEP software didn't help.
Folders in Program files Symantec and Symantec Endpoint should be removed first - Windows doesn't allow it to delete it, so renaming it first - and then reinstalling the Symantec Endpoint Protection software helped to remove the error.
