Zabbix Agent 2 - 6.0.31 Windows - Disk full: Out of disk space

[tomstocker]

Hi Zabbix users

zabbix_agent2-6.0.31-windows-amd64-openssl.msi it has installed once, since then it fails all the time with this error in eventlog:

Product: Zabbix Agent 2 (64-bit) -- Disk full: Out of disk space -- Volume: '%INSTALLFOLDER%'; required space: 25’550 KB; available space: 0 KB. Free some disk space and retry.

Windows Server 2022, latest updates applied, enough diskspace. Searched through the Registry too, only reference is the firewall rule. Cleared %TEMP%. Checked for NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation which is enabled. Redeployed the server VM. Gave more disk space. Still the same, after re-deploying it is even not installing a single time.

mkdir "C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent 2"
SET INSTALLFOLDER="C:\Program Files\Zabbix Agent 2"
msiexec /l*v log.txt /i c:\temp\zabbix_agent2.msi /qn SERVER=xxx SERVERACTIVE=xxx HOSTMETADATA="xxx" LISTENPORT=10050 HOSTNAME=myHost ENABLEPATH=1 INSTALLFOLDER="%INSTALLFOLDER%" SKIP=fw ALLOWDENYKEY="DenyKey=vfs.file.contents[/etc/passwd]"
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Zabbix_Agentd" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=10050 remoteip=xxx

any clue what is wrong with msiexec? It installs if I click through the installer. I'm out of ideas.

update

same with:
- zabbix_agent2-6.2.9-windows-amd64-openssl.msi
- zabbix_agent2-6.4.16-windows-amd64-openssl.msi
- zabbix_agent2-7.0.0-windows-amd64-openssl.msi

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...ion-error-1603 didn't help either

We did develop a windows script that actually works:

Make sure to never use spaces in Variables!

You can choose between Zabbix Agent and Zabbix Agent 2:

$SERVER="<yourzabbixdnsservername>"
#hostmetadata if needed for eg autoregistration
$HOSTMETADATA="<yourmetadata>"
$LISTENPORT=10050
$serveraddr = [System.Net.Dns]::gethostaddresses("$SERVER") | ForEach-Object {Write-Output $_.IPAddressToString}
# create download folder
New-Item -Path C:\Zabbix -ItemType "directory"
# download zabbix agent
#Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://cdn.zabbix.com/zabbix/binari...64-openssl.msi -Outfile C:\Zabbix\zabbix.msi
# download zabbix agent 2
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://cdn.zabbix.com/zabbix/binari...64-openssl.msi -Outfile C:\Zabbix\zabbix.msi
# create firewall rule
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Zabbix_Agent" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=10050 remoteip=$serveraddr
# install zabbix agent
msiexec /l*v log.txt /i C:\Zabbix\zabbix.msi /qn SERVER=$SERVER SERVERACTIVE=$SERVER HOSTNAME=$HOSTNAME HOSTMETADATA=$HOSTMETADATA LISTENPORT=$LISTENPORT ENABLEPATH=1 SKIP=fw
# wait for install
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
# delete download folder

cannot edit anymore.

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Zabbix_Agent" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=$LISTENPORT remoteip=$serveraddr

would be better.
