Cannot install client on Intel i9 PC

[Twilight-Computer]

I have been successfully using Mesh Central for some time across a range of different client OS and versions.
Today, I cannot install the MeshAgent64 on a new Dell i9 Precision desktop Win 11 Pro
Running the install .exe generates a brief command screen (cannot read any detail) and then closes. No output / nothing logged.
Any suggestions / debugs / tricks would be appreciated.
Server Version 1.1.33

Windows 11 24h2 by any chance :)

Yep, the current version doesn't work unless u install the wmic feature add on before hand then install meshagent

But the is a new agent which has been build and available with steps for people to test which doesn't require wmic anymore

Yes Windows 11 24H2
Thanks for the quick response ! I installed wmic and it has allowed me to complete the install.

Glad it works!
As i explained the is a new meshagent for people to try which doesnt need the wmic!
But u have to upload etc urself and if ur not comfy with it, just install the wmic for now and carry on using the current version :)

First ran across this with a new laptop I had to deploy which was the first one I receive that already had 24H2 loaded on it. This worked perfectly. WIll continue to test this one on one of my workstations I frequently connect to here as well. Please update the comment when it is deemed ok to release the noAgentUpdate. Thank you Ylianst!!

will keep everyone informed!
but from my testing, its ok, no issues!
so you can remove the noAgentUpdate: 1 option, then restart meshcentral and it will auto-update all your remote devices!
but again if your completely unsure, keep the option for now, and update select devices one by one and do testing 👍

Well, I discovered that 3 old WIndows 7 64 bit systems became disconnected with the new agent. One Win7 32 bit stayed connected and appears to have not updated as the build on it still says Dec 9 2022. I put back the noAGentUpdate: 1 option for now and reinstalled an old agent I had saved on those client PCs. I seem to recall seeing something about dropping support for Win7 so perhaps this is by design. Wanted to report my findings.

@Tomtreas the new agent was never tested with windows xp or 7, I only tested with 10 and up, so I will have to create a vm to test why it didn't work

Make sure ur Windows 7 mahcine has all the latest updates it can do

Also, yes, the agent is only 64bit,
I would have to build a 32bit version for people to test

But now a day's most people are on 64bit
