VAM installation failed

Post by rmc_acampbell »

Where is the log file for the VAM installer? I am trying to update the agent on MacOS Ventura 13.2 on a MacBook Pro from 2021. VAM 2.3.1.1009. I click 'Install', the installer churns a few seconds then gives me "the installation failed". I uninstalled and installed, same result. Do I need to treat it like a Windows computer and reboot the critter? I have two other Macs where updating succeeded.

Hi Adam.

Yes, you can try rebooting macOS.

If you encounter the installation issue after rebooting, please provide a support case ID for this issue, as requested when you select New Topic. All issues should be reviewed by our customer support team.

To find the VAM installer log, you can check the Console app or view /var/log/install.log for detailed error messages. Try rebooting the Mac, ensure Rosetta 2 is installed, and run the installer via Terminal for more diagnostic output.
