Netbackup 8.3.0.1 install wizard runs in background

Hello All,

I am having the following strange behavior during Netbackup 8.3.0.1 upgrade. The second install screen that gets loaded by the setup.exe /SERVER command does not pop up the GUI as it normally does. This is happening on my master server running Windows 2016. Can anyone shed some lights?

Thanks

David

Not sure which window you are referring to. Possible to send some screenshots?

Hello Pats_729,

Unfortunately there isn't a way to get a screenshot of the installation because the GUI does not show up. I am trying to understand what's going on cause I've never seen this behavior before. I click browse.exe and select the first option and nothing happens.

Hello David
That’s really interesting. I Hope you’re launching the installer with “Run as Administrator”

Did you verified checksum of the installer files ? Sometimes a corrupt installer can also give some weird behaviour.

Last but not least Windows machines works better when they are rebooted :D:D:D. If possible try a reboot.

Hello Pats_729,

The only thing I haven't tried was the checksum. :(

HI @dtrostli1 

Have you checked the install logs to see if that tells you something - they will be found in C:\ProgramData\Veritas\NetBackup\InstallLogs

Hey

I would have downloaded these binaries one more time. I recall situation where I did download some release and it was giving me issues... After opening a case it turned out that this version was updated and after downloading the same release but newer all my troubles went away...

 

Hello Davidmoline,

I have checked the log file but It does not tell much. I have also opened a case to further investigate this weird behavior.

David

Hello Quebek,

The binaries run fine in another Windows machine. I have also downloaded it a second time but this symptom remained the same. I have logged a case with support.
