Can't Install Client on Windows 8.1 Laptop

  • 1.  Can't Install Client on Windows 8.1 Laptop

    I'm happy to finally have GS 3.0 and I've set it up on Server 2008 R2, and deployed it to 2 Windows 7 machines with no problems. For the life of me I can't install the client on a Windows 8.1 laptop, even with Symantec Endpoint disabled. No matter what I've tried, I get the following error---The network path was not found.' . Unable to connect to computer! Log file reads...

    JOHNVYHNANEK_PC:

    Install settings:
    Connecting to server 169.254.233.244 on port 402.
    This agent can be remote controlled from the console.
    The agent is not password protected.
    Prompting for execution, reboot, and/or remote control events.
    The user will be prompted for 10 seconds, then the operation will continue.
    Always connected to the server, never refreshing the connection.

    Events:
    Starting install for machine JOHNVYHNANEK_PC.
    'The network path was not found.' . Unable to connect to computer JOHNVYHNANEK_PC with username John J Vyhnanek .
    --------------------------------------------------

    Well, I can connect to it through the network and access the root, plus ping works just fine. DCHP is used in all sucessful installs and with this laptop, I've also tried using the IP but that doesn't work either

    Is there a way, like in GS 2.5, where I can install the client directly from my download without installing the entire solution? Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    Help and or suggestions are appreciated. johnvins
