Issue's installing Veeam gent on 2016 Server Core

[Richrussel]

Hi

I am trying to install Veeam Agent on one of my 2016 Server Core machine but the process keeps failing. If I do it manually if fails while trying to write to the debug folder, if done via command line /silent /accepeula I get this in the log:

[03.05.2018 10:30:51][INFO] [ProgressInfo] Installing Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows......

I have a case open t the moment but if anyone has any ideas or how they have overcome this, please let me know.

Thank you

Hi Richard,

First: welcome to the forums!

For the core version. At this moment, core versions of OS-es are not supported. I believe this is going to come in future update(s)
