How can I troubleshoot an issue with the Collector MSI package?
Answer:
If the Collector MSI package returns an error during installation then the logging can be enabled. Go to the path where your MSI is located and run the following command:
msiexec /i C:\temp\package.msi /l*v log.txt
Sample:
c:\Temp>msiexec /i NEXThink_Collector.msi /l*v log.txt
c:\Temp>dir log.txt
Volume in drive C is OS
Volume Serial Number is 1234-1234
Directory of c:\Temp
20/04/2021 11:17 785.108 log.txt
1 File(s) 785.108 bytes
0 Dir(s) 12.705.570.816 bytes free
Log inspection can reveal the source of the experienced issue. Examples follow:
MSI package is not accessible by the running Source because the network share where the MSI package is being stored does not grant read access to the said Source.
