Hi All,


I’m trying to understand this error on the client for a version that only has install option and no update option.
The auto updater client is pulling down the new Install-*.exe and seems to be running it without the -update parameter. 

I had thought creating a version on the update server with only the Install Action would have prevented a download.

I had also expected it not to run the Install-*.exe at all since there wasn’t an Update Action on the Update Server implemented by Omaha Consulting.

 

[05/02/24 11:32:10.363][READACTED:goopdate][12564:16504][InstallApp returned][0x80040902][{CA-REDACTED}][type:4][code: 2][The installer encountered error 2.][]

I checked the omaha/base/error.h file and didn’t see anything there that explained the “error 2”.
There is only one constant with a value of 2:  #define EXCEPTION_REVERT_IMPERSONATION_FAILED   0x2

Is this what I’m seeing?

 

Thank you.

(I do know that this group isn’t for the Omaha Consulting Update server, but I think you will know the client code we are using).

Hi Thom, 
for the log line below, the likely interpretation is that the 4 means INSTALLER_RESULT_ERROR_SYSTEM and 2 is most likely ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND.

[type:4][code: 2][The installer encountered error 2.]
