    pls help. zabbix agent msi installation and its problems. vicious circle

    the problem is that when installing msi, there are few parameters that are described in the zabbix installation
    for example, you cannot add the required line
    > include = "blabla path to config"
    it is very necessary, for example, to start checking the same smartctl disks
    because of this, the zabbix.conf file has to be scattered through the GPO, but it's bad luck, if the zabbix2 config file is already in the system, then during installation the system swears that the folder is not empty
    in GPO it can only be created log:

    ...............
    Action start 11:14:12: LaunchConditions.
    MSI (s) (E0: 08) [11: 14: 12: 665]: Product: Zabbix Agent 2 (64-bit) - Please, clear the installation folder: C: \ Program Files \ Zabbix Agent 2 \
    Please, clear the installation folder: C: \ Program Files \ Zabbix Agent 2 \
    ...........
    MSI (s) (E0: 08) [11: 14: 12: 696]: Product: Zabbix Agent 2 (64-bit) - Installation failed.
    what to do? I really need help ...

    I think that in the near future we be able to add possibility to define the 'Include' value. In your case, this is the first msi installation and the destination folder is not empty and not managed by the Windows installation system. You have to update the conf file after installing msi because msi creates conf from scratch.

      hi! ) I have a problem adding "include" to the MSI config - you answered earlier.
      The only thing I could think of was to replace the config via gpo. but it is installed on the computer before the msi package is deployed
      I used the ORCA(msi editor) to remove the msi installation error if the file already exists. but the installation replaces the config with a new one (then gpo changes it again) and as a result, after 2 reboots, everything starts working.

        I am trying out the Agent 2 MSI setup and I encountered a difference between the former Agent MSI and the Agent 2 configuration file. As Default a configuration folder is created in both Agent and Agent 2 MSI setup, but the default configuration of Agent 2 the include line is empty as opposed for the normal agent.

        The MSI source file 5.X Agent ZABBIX_AGENT.WIN.CONF contains a line : Include=[INSTALLFOLDER]zabbix_agentd.conf.d\
        The MSI source file 5.X Agent 2 ZABBIX_AGENT.WIN.CONF does not contain such a line. It should contain a line Include=[INSTALLFOLDER]zabbix_agentd2.conf.d\ as the folder is in fact created in the MSI installer.

        This makes installation a more cumbersome process as this is not a MSI configurable parameter to configure and need wrapper scripts to correct that matter after MSI installation
        Is this on purpose or is it a bug?

          A sensible default would be nice and being able to pass an include option in the Property table in SuperOrca would be even better.
