hi!

I want to install splunk on a windows server 2012 VM, can I just copy the .exe installer on the shared folder and install it from the VM?

Thank you so much

Yes,
Splunk is fully supported on windows, you should have no issues with the installer.

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

I have a remote shared folder and I'm planning to transfer the files there and access it on the VM
