Question


In trying to install a distributed processing engine, I'm receiving the error: 

An error occurred when applying transforms. Check whether the specified transform paths are valid.

 

Answer


One of the following may allow the installer to finish:

  • Check the MD5 hash of the ISO you downloaded. (See article: How to Verify the MD5 Hash Value of an Image)

  • Make sure you are running the ISO mounted. (See article: Mounting and installing a product with an ISO)

  • Instead of using the auto-installer, navigate the ISO to FT/FTK/{GUID} to find the evidence processing engine installer. Make sure you run with right-click run as administrator. Make sure you select the checkbox to install as distributed.

  • In a couple of instances, this problem was seen happening in an OS set to non-English, non-United States region and locale settings. Changing region and locale settings to United States and English, allowed the install to finish.
