D.4 Verifying Silent Installation

Because the command-line installation process is silent, the installation program does not notify you of any errors encountered during the process. If you enter incorrect information for your installation environment and the installation program cannot install Sentinel Agent Manager, the installation program stops the process and does not display an error message.

If you want to verify that you successfully installed one or more Sentinel Agent Manager components, you can search for an event in the Application event log containing the status of the installation.

To verify silent installation of Sentinel Agent Manager components:

  1. On the computer where you silently installed Sentinel Agent Manager components, open the Event Viewer located in the Control Panel.

  2. Click Application.

  3. Click the Source column to sort by event source.

  4. Scroll down until you find one or more events with the source msiexec or MsiInstaller.

  5. Right-click the first msiexec or MsiInstaller event and select Properties.

  6. Use the down arrows to search through all msiexec or MsiInstaller events.

  7. If you find an Information event with the Description Successfully installed X, the installation program installed Sentinel Agent Manager successfully.

    If you find an Error event, the installation program could not install all Sentinel Agent Manager components.

  8. Navigate to the log file created during the installation process.

  9. Open the log file and search for logged failure messages that may indicate why the installation program could not successfully install Sentinel Agent Manager.
