Hi,
There are a few servers throwing the error while installing Agent: "UniversalForwarder Setup Wizard ended prematurely because of an error." Can you please help? Cannot install Splunk (tried all the available version on this), even rebooted many times.
Servers are mostly Windows 2008 and Windows 2008r2.
Am trying to upgrade from 6.3.x to 6.4.1 at present.
Please find the error snapshot.
regards,
Dharanesh,
Splunk doesn't support Windows Server 2008 as of 6.4. See http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.4.3/ReleaseNotes/Deprecatedfeatures (this really should be in the Universal Forwarder manual). This may or may not be the cause of the error message.
Removed platforms
Windows Server 2008 x86-32 & x86_64: Enterprise, Free/Trial, and Universal Forwarder support for Windows Server 2008 x86 & x86_64 has been removed.
how about windows 2008 r2?
So, is it possible to install older version on Window Server 2008 R2?
I saw some other thread had same problem since Forwarder 6.2...
Dharanesha,
Windows 2008 is not listed as supported for 6.4.3. Support shows up to 6.3.7
how about windows 2008 r2?
Windows 2008 R2 is still currently supported
okay. now am trying to install version 6.4.1 on windows server 2008 r2. but i still get error as attached to main thread. what could be the issue? i used both x86 and x64 universal forwarders.
Try opening a command prompt using "Run as Administrator", 'cd' to the location of the installer and attempt that way
thanks. but i did this many times. did not help
