Setup not working

[jdehn]

Hi there! I am trying to install the agent on my Windows 10 Pro machines (1703, 1709 and 1803) but I am getting the same issue like described here.

fusioninventory-agent_windows-x64_2.4.exe /acceptlicense /no-start-menu /server='http://xxx/glpi/plugins/fusioninventory/' /runnow /execmode=service /installtype=from-scratch /installtasks=inventory,deploy

If I try that the installer will start and I have to choose the language but after clicking "OK" the User's Guide is opened. If I try the same thing with "/S" nothing happens.

Does anyone else get this behaviour still in version 2.4?

Thanks a lot!

Hello, I have a problem with the Vbs script that I use to install the client, instead of searching for the executable in GitHub according to Destination, I changed it to my local server

For some reason, the previously configured Git server did not work, use it as a palliative solution until it resolves or corrects the script

perhaps remove the & SetupVersion if you put the file directly in /download/ on your web server

@jdehn This happens only when one of your argument is wrong. Can you double-check your command line ? I think by the way the installer should first tell what is wrong than just open the help page.

@g-bougard Thank you for your reply - I checked the arguments again and I can't see anything wrong. After a while playing around I found out the setup works properly without the server-argument. /server='http://server.dom.ain/glpi/plugins/fusioninventory/'

Could you tell me if that is wrong? Also tried it without quotes and with double qoutes, nothing happens.

Error still not solved - is anyone reading this?

Try use " instead ' because I think it get the word /server in the URL and use it as an argument

[jdehn]

Setup is working now but I can't start the service because of "[error] No target defined, aborting".

So that is still not the solution for this problem - do you have another idea?

[ddurieux]

for the arguments, it's in the file vbs or you run the install command on cmd / powrshell command?

[jdehn]

I am running that via batch script and deploying it via group policy - poorly there is no msi package.

[ddurieux]

So why not use the vbs file? it works perfectly with GPO deployement

[jdehn]

Sure, I could switch to vbs and have to learn how vbs works - but why can't I just use the commandline?

Is there or will there be a solution for this problem?

The same problem. The reason for this was to use ' instead of " in /server="http://server1/plugin/fusioninventory,http://server2/plugin/fusioninventory,..." then the installer displays the guide. IMHO transferring to instructions without any error messages is not a good idea.

The second case of firing the Powershell console even the correct command will result in the same without any information about where the problem is.

Hi there,

the windows installer was a little modified in 2.4.2 to show a combo box when it detects an error on command line parsing. The combox appears even if run in silent mode... Sorry, I didn't find a better way by now. But I decided this is still better than nothing and this should really help people having trouble finding the right parameters combination.

This may be a problem if people is publishing with wrong parameters to a lot of machine at the same time. So always test your parameters before publishing !

With this feature added, I'm closing this issue as I think people will now know why the silent install fails thanks to the combo.
