Hi team,

I am trying to install Splunk 6.6 in windows 2008 R2 in the following path d:/programfiles/splunk. I selected the customized path to configure the following path d:/programfiles/splunk. Splunk installation starts, but installation setup wizard exits with following error "Splunk Enterprise Setup Wizard ended prematurely" and all the files are rolled back. But i am able to install Splunk successfully in C drive in a different server

Also tried with CMI, but no luck.

Please help me on this.

Thanks

I have several installs where Splunk is installed on D, however more recently I prefer to install to c:\Program Files\ but locate my indexes on a separate volume. This keeps all the paths as default, but lets me separate out the bulk of the data elsewhere, It also means I can detach/move/reattach my data volume between systems, as I only use windows for testing. (Prod is always Linux for me)

However - for your specific issue, can you share a copy of the installer log.

You may want to configure installer logging first:

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!
