New Client Install
-
@Andrew-Aitken can you post your C:\fog.log (or c:\program files (x86)\fog\fog.log) file here?
-
@Jbob I am getting the same error as @Andrew-Aitken got. For some reason I was not able to post a picture last week of it. When I run my script which is a simple silent install I get no error message, it just never installs.
msiexec /i " & subtemp & "\FOGService.msi /passive WEBADDRESS=10.1.90.2But I get the error such as the posted picture when I run it interactively by clicking on the MSI in windows. Both give the same MSI error in the Windows log though of 1603.

@Tom-Elliott If he is getting that error there will be no log as that is the client install failing and so no log gets created. I just got in and am about to start an upgrade to the latest trunk and see if that works to fix this issue.

@Tom-Elliott
I don’t think it gets that far, as neither c:\fog.log or c:\program files (x86)\fog folder is ever created?
The only thing I can find is a series of 5 events in the Windows Application log culminating with “Installation success or error status: 1603”

Minor update
It installs fine on Windows 10 64-bit but not Windows 7 64-bitWhy would that be the case?

I upgraded my FOG server to the latest trunk today and the client installed without an issue. Last time I upgraded the FOG server I got an error with the SSL script part of the installer but everything still seemed to work. This time I had no issues with the upgrade so I wonder if there was an issue the certs.
@Jbob Sorry I didn’t see your post for logging until after I already started the upgrade of the server so I could not do a log to get tot he root cause of this, but it does look as though it was isolated to an error on the server which would point to the certs being the problem. I assume that during the install the client pulls the certs from the server and sets them as a trusted root so that we get the secure connection ability in the client, correct?
@Andrew-Aitken are you still having the issue? Maybe you could run the logging on your MSI so that @Jbob could see what the issue in yours is. Could help in creating an error code/message in the installer for the future.

@ITSolutions As suggested I re-ran the MSI install with logging but unable to determine what the issue is?
0_1453808764504_fog-install.logAny help in deciphering the log would be appreciated.
-
@Andrew-Aitken How is the install being performed? Is it a script running to do the install?
-
@Tom-Elliott
No just executing the .msi or with msiexec from the command line. Both produce the same result -
@Andrew-Aitken Have you ensured the command line is running as administrator?

It likely has something to do with the version of .NET you have installed…
-
@Tom-Elliott
Pretty sure I did the last time but I ran it again to be sure and still got the same error? -
@Wayne-Workman
.net is not installed. Is there a requirement for it? -
@Andrew-Aitken I do believe it is for the client. Try installing .net and re-running the installer. Win10 has .net by default, were as Win 7 needs to have it installed. That would make sense as to the reason it will install on Win 10 for you.

@ITSolutions
Installed .net4 and client installed fine.
Thanks again for your guidance
