ejabberd - Comments for "Latest Windows installer won&amp;#039;t install on Windows XP - hangs in postinstall script." https://www.ejabberd.im/node/3252 en I just tried 2.0.1 - fails as well https://www.ejabberd.im/node/3252#comment-53703 <p>I just tried installing 2.0.1, and it fails around the same place as well (within the postinstall script). I was surprised, since I've seen other people saying that it worked for them.</p> <p>I couldn't find that log file you mention, tho'.</p> <p>By the way, after I canceled the 2.0.1 installation, I tried installing 2.0.2 again, and THIS time it worked. I don't know if the attempted 2.0.1 installation fixed something, or if it is merely a timing issue, and this time it worked, I don't know, but installation completed.</p> <p>By the way, during the 2.0.1 installation, my virus software kept telling me it saw signs of a virus in the 2.0.1 files. Ever see that before?</p> <p>- Tim</p> Wed, 29 Oct 2008 18:58:29 +0000 tbessie comment 53703 at https://www.ejabberd.im Does 2.0.1 installer complete correctly? https://www.ejabberd.im/node/3252#comment-53688 <p>I too have a problem with ejabberd 2.0.2_2 Windows installer. In my case the file C:\Windows\Temp\bitrock_installer.log says:</p> <pre>Executing final installation script Error executing post installation script C:\ejabberd-2.0.2_2f\bin\postinstall.bat \epmd: Cannot connect to local epmd</pre><p>If I uninstall this and install ejabberd 2.0.1, all works correctly.</p> <p>The Windows installer performs four tasks:</p> <ul> <li>Copy the files </li><li>Register the Windows service </li><li>Modify ejabberd.cfg with the settings introduced during the installation: hostname, username of admin account, path to SSL certificate... </li><li>Start ejabberd, register a Jabber account (for the admin), and stop ejabberd </li></ul> <p>So, even if postinstall fails, ejabberd can be used.</p> <p>Regarding your case: there wasn't any change in formatconfig.sh since ejabberd 2.0.1. What happens if you install ejabberd 2.0.1?</p> <p>BTW, there is another problem report of Windows installer: <noindex><a href="http://support.process-one.net/browse/EJAB-758" rel="nofollow" > "Error running Post Install Script" with ejabberd-2.0.2_2-windows-installer.exe</a></noindex></p> Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:01:01 +0000 mfoss comment 53688 at https://www.ejabberd.im
