It's been a nightmare to say the least. The documentation is rather confusing. I ran the wget command to install the universal forwarder. I used</P><PRE>msiexec.exe /i splunkuniversalforwarder_x86.msi RECEIVING_INDEXER="indexer1:9997" WINEVENTLOG_SEC_ENABLE=1 WINEVENTLOG_SYS_ENABLE=1 AGREETOLICENSE=Yes /quiet</PRE><P>to install and agree to the license. Now I'm stuck. I've tried following the example. Used&nbsp; C:\ProgramFiles\splunkuniversalforwarder\bin\splunk.exe install app C:\Users\Ryzen5\Downloads\splunkclouduf.spl to run the file for the credentials and I'm getting errors. I tried several variations and nothing is working. I don't know if I am missing something that is glaringly obvious. Any help would be&nbsp; appreciated. I followed this <A href="https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/8.2.0/Forwarder/InstallaWindowsuniversalforwarderfromthecommandline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/8.2.0/Forwarder/InstallaWindowsuniversalforwarderfromthecommandline</A> for the installation and I TRIED following the windows instructions from here <A href="https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/9.1.2/Forwarder/ConfigSCUFCredentials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/9.1.2/Forwarder/ConfigSCUFCredentials</A>.</P> Tue, 05 Dec 2023 23:00:03 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Cloud-Platform/Install-Universal-Forwarder-Credentials-on-Windows/m-p/670913#M2667 kymkin 2023-12-05T23:00:03Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Cloud-Platform/Install-Universal-Forwarder-Credentials-on-Windows/m-p/670940#M2669 <P><a href="https://community.splunk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/263090">@kymkin</a>&nbsp;</P><P>I'm not exactly sure where the install is failing for you, but I can tell you the additional parameters I've successfully used for my install script.</P><OL><LI>Adding the directory of the forwarder program file location.
