Are you running Bitdefender? When we saw this before it was the AV running on the server doing it
No, there’s currently no av installed on this server.
After the third attempt, i was able to install the update, but now have the problem, tha CloudPanel isn’t finding the database server (just like the las time).
But this time, restoring the backup settings.xml isn’t working either.
The new settings.xml contains only ythese lines:
<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<cloudpanel>
<Settings>
<Database>server=LAB-DC01.lab.local\SQLEXPRESS;database=CloudPanel;uid=sa;password=Password!;</Database>
</Settings>
</cloudpanel>
Correction, after restoring the settings.xml and restarting iis, CloudPanel ist up and running again.

The upgrade should of copied the settings.xml values from the old version. It looks like since it messed up for some reason it failed on copying the settings previously. So on the third attempt did MSIEXEC fail at all?
Yes, msiexec failed three times during the installation, once right after starting the setup, then again after the first few klicks and then again after the setup finished. Appart from that, the installation seemed to have run “fine”.
As I mentioned in my first post, this allready happened at least for the previous two updates (versions 3.2.0283.2 and 3.2.0292.0).
Also, the problem with the settings.xml had allready occoured with the previous update to 3.2.0292.0 (there’s a thread about it in this forum).

We would have to connect and look because we can’t reproduce the msiexec failing during installation like what you are describing. If you want to schedule a time, please email me at jdixon@knowmoreit.com.
Since the new version is now up and running, it would probably not make much sense to look into the problems now.
But I’d be happy to contact you, should the problem recur with the next update.

Yes please. Let us know if it happens again. We will keep an eye out for other people mentioning the same thing. We have seen this issue once before but it was BitDefender blocking it. This was about a year ago.
