[SOLVED] Avast Enterprise - Error deploying to remote machine

Hi,

I have just installed Avast Enterprise on my windows 2012 Server (I have purhcased a 12 user licence).

I have found all networked machines, and created an installation file and deployment task.

Now when I go to run an install on a remote machine, I get the error in the log file:

10/20/16 08:53:29:   LUKE-PC: StartSetup
10/20/16 08:53:29:   LUKE-PC: Connecting

10/20/16 08:53:50:   LUKE-PC: Copying setup.exe
10/20/16 08:53:50:   LUKE-PC: CopyFile C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Enterprise Administration\InstPkgs\setup.exe \\LUKE-PC\C$\~AVINSTL\setup.exe error 2 (The system cannot find the file specified)

I have navigated to this folder on the server and setup.exe does not exist, after creating an installation task, how do I then generate a setup.exe file?

Run the mirror.exe in: C:\Program Files\AVAST Software\Enterprise Administration\mirror\

This should regenerate the mirror including the setup.exe file.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply, I have run this twice and the file has not been generated

Edit, I reset my network connection, which forced a full new mirror to be generated, this didn’t generate the setup.exe still.

I tried regenerating it from my test lab and it was okay - which means that the is not global.

Please try to download the file manually and let us know if it downloaded.

Hi Avosec-UK,

I have updated some network settings, when I now re-run mirror.exe this is the FULL log, giving no real error code

Looks good.

Try to deploy the software now.

The deployment task will unpack the setup.exe from one of the files.

Thanks for all your help, this resolved the issue.
