vCAC 5.2 Install failure

[harkamal]

Greetings !

I'm unable to install vcac 5.2, it fails during model manager installation. Logs does not really tell what is wrong, I have done this several times before and never seen it before. Any clues are much appreciated, thank you.

Edit: user is local admin, pre-requisite checker is clean.

Exit code 1 could be anything. The log dosn't really provide any information that would help (not your fault thought...)

General ideas:

- Do you run the setup in elevated mode?

- I see you're trying to update vcac on IP 190.193.185.13, are you sure 190.193.185.13 is reachable and no ports are blocked from your host?

Nothing to do with the error, but it gave me some wet eyes: 190.193.185.13 is within the public IP range. You should use private ip ranges if you don't have a good reason not to do so.

This looks like the repository registration is failing.

Here is the installation flow

1. Database is created - Success

2. Tables are Created and Foreign Key constrains are created - Success

3.  IIS Repository web application is created - Failure

4. Repository is registered in database - Failure

5. The Repository Data (Model manager Data) is copied over to the database - Did not get this far

Now, the for a start, please check the following

1. IIS is configured as per the documentation - the Authentication methods (Disabling the Anonymous, Enabling Windows Authentication, using the NTLM and Kerberos provider, etc), ASP net registration (executing the aspnet_regiis.exe command, with .Net framework)  - This quite likely is the issue as the repository URL is not being created properly

2. Please ensure, no proxy is set on the system (as the repoutil tools use the web services to move data to the database) - this will be used in the later step of the installation.

In order to continue the install, please delete the database from the DB server, remove the :443 binding from IIS, execute the uninstaller from control panel (appwiz.cpl) and then check the IIS settings, re register .Net framework - Below are the steps

Uninstall

a. Uninstall VCAC Server

b.  Delete the Database

c. Remove the Port Bindings (Open IIS Manager > right Click on Default Website> click on Edit Bindings and delete the port used during configuration)

Re-Install

Step 01 Disable your proxy settings if the installation is local

Step 02 Repair .net 4.5 and reboot the machine

Step03 Run the following command “C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis -iru” and reset IIS

Start the install again.

Let me know how it goes
