Hi, I am starting preliminary tests to see how condor 9.0.x behave before attempting further upgrades to our 8.8.x flock. As part of the tests I am setting up HTCondor anew on a test Linux CM and a couple of selected Windows/Linux/macOS submit/execute
machine to form a new mini test flock. However I have issues with the provided MSI installer which fails to install properly on Windows 10. Note: I have searched the issue before and some had it occurring in previous versions when attempting to install HTCondor in directories containing space in their name. Here I am just installing into c:\condor\ Installation was done with an account that has administrative permissions on the computer. Also the HTCondor 8.8.12 MSI installer just installs fine without any error on the same Windows 10 machine. The HTCondor 9.0.5 MSI installer proceeds OK through the license, pool, behavior, accounting domain, email settings, Java settings, permissions settings, universe settings, destination folder and ready to install screens. It then asked
for elevated access and proceeds with installation, but, near the end of the installation, it fails and issues the following error: > There is a problem with this Windows Install package. A script required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. The install wizard then lands on the following screen: > condor-9.0.5 Setup Wizard ended prematurely > > condor-9.0.5 Setup Wizard ended prematurely because of an error. Your system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, run Setup Wizard again. Click the Finish button to exit the Setup Wizard. However at this stage, modifications have been made to the system: * the c:\condor\ has been created and filled * The condor service has been registered * the condor uninstallation has been registered (and working) * some files, such as condor_config and condor_config.local seem to have incoherent access permissions (ie: they are not accessible by the account who performed the installation). I will have a look into deploying the ZIP archive as an alternative even tough it’s not what the manual recommends and the instructions at
https://htcondor.readthedocs.io/en/latest/admin-manual/windows-installer.html#manual-installation-of-htcondor-on-windows are a bit lacking… ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
