Windows Installation fails with postinstall.sh error (79506)

Date: Jul 2009
Product & Version: NVBU any
OS Version: Windows any
Module & Version: NA
Application version:NA


Symptoms:
When running an install of Netvault, the install fails with a popup message saying:
"The script 'postinstall.sh', which is run as part of the installation, exited with error code 1.
The output from the script may be found in the file " ". Please examine the contents of this file in a text editor.

The contents of the post install log have the following last lines:


Setting reports/stats paths
License installed: 'FALSE'
Failed to install license

Cause:
The error here is obscure, but basically the temporary license cannot be set because the system date is too old (ie it's not yet been set).

Set the Windows system date to the current date, make sure that NetVault is de-installed completely, then reinstall.
