Client Installer does not show all available environments

I installed 10.2.300 on a test server, and created DB’s and Apps for 2 environments: DEM_102300, and TST_102300.

But when I try to install the client on another machine, I only see:

The root of the problem seems to be the fact that there’s no .sysconfig file for the TST App in the deployment folder

Does this indicate an error during the setup of the TST_102300 app?

FWIW - If I copy the DEM_102300.sysconfig on the client machine to TST_102300.sysconfig, and create a shortcut for it, it runs fine.

I seem to remember having some problems like this too when I had two DBs\AppServers installed on the same Server. I’m not sure what would cause the .sysconfig for one of them to be missing but I think you will need to copy the .sysconfig file from your (on your SERVER) C:\Epicor\ERP10\LocalClients\TST_102300\config folder and paste it into your \ \ServerName\ERP10.2.300.0Deployment\Client\config folder. I believe the \ \ServerName\ERP10.2.300.0Deployment\ share is the folder that the Client Installer pulls all of it’s config files from.

I figured that would work.

But was more concerned that something went wrong during the creation of the TST_ App, and that I was just going to run into bigger problems down the road.

I can’t think of any problems that you might have as long as once you add that .sysconfig file to the shared Deployment folder on the Server, then I would try a Client Install again and see if your TST_102300 comes up as a Shortcut Creation option:

and then once installed, if it runs and you can verify you are in the right database, I’d say you are good to go! :slight_smile:

Unless someone else can think of something I’m not at the moment…it is still early and I’m only on my second cup of coffee. :wink: :coffee:

I believe I had this problem once and I think the issue was that the workstation did not have the current or required version of .net framework.

Well … I copied the TST_102300.sysconfig file from the Local Clients folder on the App server to the deployment folder on the App server, and now that App shows in the installer.

But launching it causes it to error out.

So something did go wrong during the creation of the TST_102300 App.

My apologies, there must be more going on here than I thought.

Do you see the tst_102300.sysconfig file in the config folder of your local machine after you stepped through the client installer? (Not that you wouldn’t have checked that already…)

When you deploy the AppServer isn’t there an AppServer Epicor client icon that is automatically created on the desktop? Whatever path that icon is pointing to is the location of the client files that your TST_102300 is using to run. It should be something like \Epicor\ERP10\LocalClients\TEST_102300. Is TST_102300 running on your server without an error?

I can just say that my .sysconfig files for my PRIMARY and SECONDARY test AppServers are in my Deployment config folder which I thought might be all you needed:
