Hi

I am trying to Upgrade VSE 8.7 P5 to VSE 8.8 P1 on few of servers.  The log from EPO gives the following error

Scheduler: Invoking task [Install VS 8.8i]...

Kane,

I have run into this issue many times.  Unfortunately, I have found no definitive cause and thus no definitive way around it.

You could try to forceinstall a new agent over the current and see if that works (it did for me sometimes) or just, in this case, "touch" the 2 systems and perform the upgrade manually by copying the package from ePO.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Mark

Not too sure if it a similar issue but I have had systems not upgrade from VSE 8.7 to 8.8i. For me the best method is to first send a task to uninstall 8.7i and then send a task to install VSE 8.8i.

Sometimes you get an installation error that's not explained on McAfee Agent's log (not enough space, installing on a non-physical drive...). The best way to troubleshoot it would be installing manually VSE through terminal server (or on local console) and see the real error message
