installation script messes up crackmapexec (oscrypto.errors.LibraryNotFoundError: Error detecting the version of libcrypto)

[ernestang98]

When I ran ./install.sh, it overrides the existing installation of cme and results in the following error:

I suggest removing the line pipx install git+https://github.com/mpgn/CrackMapExec.git --force

Thanks for you comment. I would suggest uninstalling the existing installation of cme, since it does not have the --log option. For that, the installation of the latest crackmapexec is needed to use the linWinPwn tool.

As crackmapexec has been replaced with NetExec, I will close this issue.
