Hi everybody,
I've been struggling for hours to install splunks universal forwarder on windows server 2022.
Here's the msiexec logs : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NtNN9mT97-gbwprIc4cCAec5mi7Jhl6H/view?usp=sharing
Help 😛
Hi @kyuubyhades,
I suppose that you're trying to install a forwarder with version greater than 8.2.5, that's the first version certified for Windows Server 2022.
It's a strange error because the installation pachege doesn't find some files.
See in $TEMP$\splunk.log and in $SPLUNK_HOME\var\log\splunk\first_install.log if there some additional information
I hint at first to try on another server Windows 2022 to understand if it's alocal issue or general, then anyway to open a case to Splunk Support.
Ciao.
Giuseppe
Thanks for the tip @gcusello ,
I am indeed installing it with the latest version available.
I finally managed to install it yesterday once i removed all existing files created by the other install attempts.
I still don't understand why i couldn't install it the first x times i tried.
Best regards 🙂
