Hello,

I'm currently facing a problem on installing splunk universal forwarder on 1 of our windows server, the installer I'm using is splunkforwarder-6.2.12-277845-x86-release the OS version of the server is Windows Server 2003 32 bit. When I'm running the installer the installation wizard always ends up prematurely, I've also tried installing it via command line quietly but still has the same result, also tried installing it in low privilege mode and still has the same result. I'm pretty sure that I'm using an admin account. What could be the problem here? Thanks in advance.
