The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.

Hi,

 

I've got one workstation (macOS Sierra 10.12.4) which has problem launching agent. I tried to re-install agent, but I'm getting upgrade failure. 

 

Launching agent (in Terminal, to see all the errors);

$ /Applications/ESET\ Remote\ Administrator\ Agent.app/Contents/MacOS/ERAAgent
Loading kernel
! Failed to load library: /Applications/ESET Remote Administrator Agent.app/Contents/MacOS/Kernel.dylib, error: dlopen(/Applications/ESET Remote Administrator Agent.app/Contents/MacOS/Kernel.dylib, 9): Library not loaded: Protobuf.dylib
  Referenced from: /Applications/ESET Remote Administrator Agent.app/Contents/MacOS/Kernel.dylib
  Reason: image not found
Not found: Era::Kernel::CCoreModule

 

Then, when trying to upgrade ERA Agent:

$ sudo bash EraAgentInstaller.sh

After this step, I tried to see if any logs exists --- Nope. Nothing in the following paths:

/Library/Application Support/com.eset.remoteadministrator.agent/Logs/ /Users/$USER/Library/Logs/EraAgentInstaller.log

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Could you please re-run installation with

sudo bash -x EraAgentInstaller.sh

so that all commands performed during installation are visible?

Errors does not make sens, for example file /tmp/postflight.plist should have been created even before installation itself. Agent is also not starting because of missing files...

I've fixed issue by renaming `/Applications/ESET Remote Administrator Agent.app` into something like `/Applications/ESET Remote Administrator Agent.app_bad` and then running `EraAgentInstaller.sh` twice. 

 

 

Running with -x is useless, as it clearly visible, that error comes from the `echo "Installing package '$local_mount/$local_pkg':" && sudo -S installer -pkg "$local_mount/$local_pkg" -target /` line in the `EraAgentInstaller.sh`
