BigFix Client Installation Error

(imported topic written by Ashwin.D91)

Hi,

I’m getting this error message while trying to install the client on a machine. The attached screenshot details the error. The OS is Win 2003.

I think this error indicates that your InstallShield engine on this computer (that was leftover from some previous install) is somehow corrupted… You might try renaming this folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield and then run the install package again and see if it works…

You might also try running the MSI installer.

Thanks Ben, will try and post again if I face further issues.

I remember digging for this a couple years back with a relay that would not install.

Renaming the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\InstallShield was the fix…

I have also found that this type of error happens when a machine hasn’t been rebooted in a very long time. I would first reboot the machine and then start renaming folders and using the MSI installer.

Yes. But the problem is, this is a server and hence, cannot be rebooted.

But anyway, it worked when I used the MSI folder. I didn’t have to rename the InstallShield folder. Thanks for the help, people!
