Error when installing Python for Scientific Computing?

[Gongizz]

Hello everyone. I have a problem installing "Python for Scientific Computing. Every time I try to install the App I get this error

Error during app install: failed to extract app from C:\Program Files\Splunk\var\run\4f044214eacc4962.tar.gz to C:\Program Files\Splunk\var\run\splunk\bundle_tmp\6f09d351dce26128: The system cannot find the path specified.

I have tried creating the folder manually with no success. also tried installing it through the terminal but the same problem occurs. Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

Looks like the installer on Windows is hitting the MAX_PATH limitation in Windows itself just had a look at the splunkd.log output.

Untarring into etc/apps seems to work fine.

I just had this problem and I suspect that it is just to big and that this would have fixed it:

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/ES/latest/Install/InstallEnterpriseSecurity#Step_2._Install_Sp...

For me, that was a hassle so I just downloaded it and did this from the CLI:
cd $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps
tar xf /tmp/python-for-scientific-computing-for-windows-64-bit_410.tgz

How are you installing the package - are you using the UI, or copying the package directly?

Also are you certain you are using specific Windows version?

I have tried both but same error message. I use the windows version, have not tried the linux version, but am on a windows machine

Try this

1. Unzip app.tgz to etc\apps

2. Restart splunk

3. Good luck:)
