Oboje v článku zmiňuji, ale máš tu i další odkazy, tak je tam doplním ;-).

Zdravim vas!

Otazka: Skusali ste aj silent upgrade alebo instalaciu?

Aj pri instalacii aj pri upgrade mam na roznych prostediach stale tu istu chybovu hlasku:

Dakujem za akykolvek tip. 😉

Ahoj Marťo,

muzes poskytnout ten answer file XML.. pripada mi to na prvni pohled na nejaky "preklep" v tom file podle te hlasky. Jinak ja to klikal nemam toho tolik :)

Stan.

Ahoj,

jasne. 

Jedine, co sa mi nezda, je kodovanie. V XMLku je utf-8 ale pri spusteni Veeam.Silent.Install.exe je v chybovej hlaske v prvom riadku utf-16 (vid. scrshot). Netusim ale, ci vobec a ak ano, aky suvis to ma. 🤷

Poznamka: v BETA to islo bez problemov. 😉

Mozno by som este doplnil riesenie “problemu” (pripojenie na DB), ktory nastane v pripade, ze sa upgrade robi pod inym uctom ako pod tym, ktory robil samotnu instalaciu.
