Created attachment 6132 [details] First error message on install Please see attached images. Attempting to install 7.4.1 r28887 on WHS will fail. is there any extra logs you need?
First error box is during install
Created attachment 6133 [details] Second error message on install Second error message happens after you click Abort on the 1st message
Created attachment 6134 [details] Third error message on install Third error box that happens after clicking Cancel on 2nd error Clicking Retry on 2nd dialog will just 'bump'
Was this a fresh install or an update? What have you been running before (if you did)? Did yountry to redownload the file? I installed the same build perfectly fine today.
This was an 'upgrade' from yesterdays build. uninstalled 28862 > installed 28887 (no reboot of server) Downloaded the file from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/7.4/sc/ 28862 > 28887
I am able to install 28862, even after getting the errors.
Did you download the file on the server itself, or on a client machine? How did you move it to the add-on folder?
> I am able to install 28862, even after getting the errors. You can install in a second trial, or does it work fine, even with the errors?
download the .msi from a Client system, open up the link to the Shared Folders, move the file from Client to //software/add-ins folder Launch the WHS Console on the Client system Navigate to Settings > Add-Ins > Uninstall current version r28862 WHS Console times out Restart Console, Navigate to Settings > Add-Ins > Install new version r28887 See error messages ============================= Since getting these, I have performed a 'full' uninstall, going so far as to find and remove any and all SBS files/folders on WHS by logging onto the box. Download fresh copies of r28862 & r28887 and move them to the //add-ins folder I still had the same issues. THEN, I mistakenly Double Clicked on the 28887.MSI folder while logged onto the box via Remote Desktop, strangely enough SBS installed. I then went to the WHS Console to see if the add-in showed up, it did not. When I tried to install via Settings > Add-Ins, SBS attempted to 'uninstall' its self, which it did. I was then able to install 28887 with out any errors ========================== Since we have not 'officially' released WHS yet, I don't know how you want to handle this bug. I'm willing to close it for now, or leave it in my bucket to investigate further.
Let's not have this hold off 7.4.1. Can't reproduce this :-(
FWIW: just tried this on another WHS installation. No problem at all.
The server I was using crashed, I think this caused the errors I was seeing.
Closing resolved bugs - if you feel this bug still exists please first re-test with the latest SW/FW version. If you are able to reproduce then feel free to reopen and attach new logs / steps to reproduce.
