Environment

NOTE: Pre-Installation Auditor tool was previously known as the Installation and Upgrade Precheck tool.

Problem 1

The ePIPAPI.log file records the following error:

Problem 2

ePO versions shipped with the PIA tool version 3.1.0.144 incur the same installation and upgrade issue.

The same error appears in the ePO 5.10.0 installation wizard window:

Cause

The issue is with certificate expiration. The ePO self-signed certificates expired on July 22, 2019.

Solution 1

If you are experiencing the issue described above, download the reposted version of the Pre-Installation Auditor tool.

NOTES:

Pre-Installation Auditor (PIA) version 3.1.0.189 (posted July 22, 2019) contains updated signed certificates which resolve this issue.
The updated tool is now available as a standalone package (ePOIP310_189R4.zip).
This package is available from the Product Downloads site or the ePO Software Catalog.

After downloading this standalone package:

Run the standalone PIA tool on the system that you plan to install to.
Fix any issues that the PIA tool reports.
