Hi Scotty,

Can I help you in anyway with this? I kinda have the feeling I'm the only one to whom this is happening.

Nope i have the same problem it occurs on x64 machines. seems as if the msi for x64 is broken.

Oh well. I'm writing a script to deploy the original binaries from Zabbix SAI by myself. Everything will be done remotely.

It will:
- query the domain controller for computers;
- check if zabbix is installed with the installer and remove it;
- check the computer architecture
- search for the zabbix executable location and replace it according to arch;
- add it as a service.
- write a UserParameter file and copy scripts dynamically

When done, I will see if (and what) and can post here in the forum. It will be in Powershell using PSRemoting and WMI querying.

I dont know what you have, could you please send me the log to see what is going wrong: remember you must be in admin rights (open cmd sesion with administrative right and launch it)

I am having the same problem as you. Did you find a solution to this?

I am having the same problem as you. Did you find a solution to this?

I'm on Windows Server 2008 x64 and I just ran into this problem as well. Here's the fix that worked like a champ for me.

Right click on 'Command Prompt' then choose 'Run as administrator'. You should have a cmd.exe open with the title showing 'Administrator: Command Prompt'

In the open cmd.exe Windows, 'cd' over to where your Zabbix Agent MSI file is and simply type the file name. You can 'tab out' the file name too, by typing zabb and hitting tab

Running the MSI in this way, I was able to install the agent with no errors.

I suspect the problem in the MSI itself is in the way in which the MSI is trying to create the Zabbix Agent service... the service doesn't show up in 'Services.msc' until I installed the MSI this way.

Any news on the 2.0.5 agent?

Hi
For install zabbix agent to Win2008 server, you need disable Windows firewall service or create inbound rule for incomings connect to local port 10050.

Installer using Inno Setup

I've created an installer for 2.0.5 using Inno Setup. I also created an MSI installer using exemsi.com's free wrapper. Both are working just fine. The Windows x86/x64 binaries for 2.0.5 are packaged in the source tarball on the official Zabbix download page, I used those. One thing is missing yet, the firewall setup for server OSes. If there's interest, I'm gonna look into it, myself needing a full flegged GPO-capable installer sometime soon, too.

If anyone interested I can post details and the iss script.

Hi

Here are these rules depending on the agent or trapper
(for Windows 2008R2, not sure if it works for 2008 or 2012):
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Open Zabbix agentd port 10050 inbound" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=10050
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Open Zabbix trapper port 10051 inbound" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=10051

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Open Zabbix agentd port 10050 outbound" dir=out action=allow protocol=TCP localport=10050
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Open Zabbix trapper port 10051 outbound" dir=out action=allow protocol=TCP localport=10051

Then start the msi installation from an administrator cmd and you will do a successful installation.

Hi, scotty!

Do you mind to check the version of Zabbix_agentd.exe inside of zabbix_agent-2.2.3_installer.zip ?

When I installed Agent from that archive, I got the version 2.2.1 of agent instead of version 2.2.3.

When I install agent from zabbix_agent-2.2.3_x64.msi, I got the correct version 2.2.3

Thank you.
