My JSS is running in a Windows VM, and I have an 'inhouse' folder for distributing eBooks (as detailed at this link). There's more data in there than usual, and it's generally slower than an actual server.

I tried clearing out the folder as described by @flammable (see post from May) and I still encountered errors. I am not saying you should not try it, but it may not be a silver bullet. In the end I am not sure what change I made that resolved this.

At some point I am going to move to manual installs and just do it that way.

Unfortunately, this is reoccurring with the 9.99.0 installer for us...

I haven't gotten to install 9.99.0 yet, but try this:

  1. Check the logs and see where the installer is failing.
  2. If it's an issue with robocopy taking too long, that means you have more data than it anticipated - figure out where that's stored, and move it somewhere else temporarily (like the desktop). I mentioned our inhouse eBooks folder, but you might have data elsewhere. After the upgrade is successful, be sure to put the data back.

At this point, we do VM snapshots before attempting an upgrade. Rolling back a VM snapshot is easier than restoring a database and fixing a broken installation. :)

Thanks Mike.

I've already used my work around (removing the ROOT folder) from above but it's annoying that they have reintroduced this issue when it wasn't present in the last few version.
