Windows 2003 universal forwarder install failure

kmattern — Sun, 11 May 2014 17:21:27 GMT

I've been working on this for two days. I have an older Windows 2003 web server that I would like to forward IIS log files from. I have installed the universal forwarder 6.1.0 numerous times. Each time it fails with "Splunk Installer was unable to launch Splunk's First Time Run. Error Code: 128" complete error is listed below.

Any ideas?

You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Splunk Installer was unable to launch Splunk's First Time Run.

Same error, an old win2003 server machine refuses to install universal forwarder 6.1.3 with the same error code 128.

Any clue about this issue?
