Install process loop stuck fails on vcbuildtools. #362

Closed CCCS-MA closed 1 year ago

CCCS-MA commented 3 years ago

After following the instructions laid out, my install package just loops on an infinite basis. Currently trying to install on a Windows 10 Home VM. Appears to get stuck at "The install of vcbuildtools was not successful."

I only manage to get as far as cmder being installed. Then it looks like it installs python/a series of python packages but then it enters an continuing loop, restarts, attempts to install the same thing, etc.

I am experiencing the same issue. I already tried Windows 10 and Windows 7.

WARNING: Generic MSI Error. This is a local environment error, not an issue with a package or the MSI itself - it could mean a pending reboot is necessary prior to install or something else (like the same version is already installed). Please see MSI log if available. If not, try again adding '--install-arguments="'/l*v c:\vcbuildtools_msi_install.log'"'. Then search the MSI Log for "Return Value 3" and look above that for the error.

If this helps at all this is the warning and error

I downloaded the following and it fixed that particular issue: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48159

I then ran into issues with another package stringsifter. I had to manually install it and all of it's dependents.

Hey all,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've updated the vcbuildtools.fireeye package to depend on the 2017 VC build tools package and removed the vcpython27 package from the installation list.

Please give the updates a whirl and let us know if the problem persists.

Thank you for your feedback! We've been working on major updates to FLARE VM over the last year. The now revamped FLARE VM has just been released and will make the project more open and maintainable. Please check out our blog post at https://www.mandiant.com/resources/blog/flarevm-open-to-public and give the new installation a try.

If this problem still persists with the new installation, please report:

Please note that we use this message to close all legacy issues in this repository. We look forward to your feedback and support for the next generation of FLARE VM.
