Hi Daniel,

  the problem was caused by an old wireless card on the given machine. The profile "eduroam® via partner" was not being installed and this instead of being ignored was reported as an error. This was one of the fixes I have just pushed.

As to the credentials - yes they are being pushed to a temporary file which is deleted at the installer exit - unless an error appeared. The reason for this is that we need an additional program for pushing the credentials and that needs to be in a form of an XML file.  If the installation fails we generate an installation script which could be run from the command window and for it to proceed we need input data. Since probably nobody ever used this script I could perhaps just throw this functionality away. Also I could be deleting the credentials file during DEBUG runs.

I guess making this change would make things more safe without doing any real harm to anyone.

Cheers

Tomasz

Here it is...

Could it be some confusion because the registered trademark was included in the latest CAT?

Also, I have noticed that you are saving clear text passwords in user_cred.xml. I am somehow concerned about it and would like to hear your take on it.

Regards

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

 I have just downloaded the installer for University of Malta and the installation on Windows 10 run without a problem.

I would like to ask you to to run the installer in the cmd window adding -DEBUG=4

This will generate a CAT.log in for Documents directory. Could you please send me that file (no passwords will be stored there).

Yours

Tomasz

Hello!

We've just implemented a fix which probably solves your problem. Can you download a fresh installer and try again?

Thank you,

Stefan Winter

Dear Sirs,

Here at the University Of Malta, we are receiving various complaints about the new version of CAT. Various users are installing the application, and at Installation complete, it reports that  "Network Installation had errors". We were able to reproduce such an issue and am attaching a screenshot., Some users also complained that they could not log in to eduroam, after reporting the network error, which we failed to reproduce. 

Let me know what analysis you may need to sort the problem out.
