I've run up windows 8.1 and installed the Continua agent. Looks like it installed ok, but the services isn't showing in the "services" window nor does the continua server recognise the service. Help.

Thanks, we’ll test this tomorrow… I downloaded 8.1 on friday but haven’t had time to spin up a vm yet. What build of Continua CI did you install?

Tried on Build’s 2515 and 2522.
FYI, looks like the NTVersion = 6.3

Hi Jamie,
We've got it running ok on Windows 8.1 here. Is there anything in the Windows event log?

That’s interesting. I’m running on a workstation, not VM. I’m getting no event log entries or services showing. I’m working through trouble shooting. I just wonder if there was a problem with the initial installation that I cancelled out of because I didn’t have the agent credentials at the time.

Ok, looks like I had to complete an program and features uninstall followed by a fresh installation of the agent. Interesting. I notice there doesn’t seem to be a /log option available in the agents installation. Is that correct?

It shouldn’t have any impact on it.
With Windows 8 /Server 2012 we have another issue with the server installer that we have not been able to resolve, that is it seems to be impossible to get the installer to create a network share. We just get ‘access denied’, even though the installer is supposedly running as admin. I’ve tried every way known to man to create it (net share, wmi, powershell…) but get the same result. If I just run a console as admin it works fine.

I note that the service is running, but the Server isn’t recognising the agent. Just stepping through some debugging at the moment to find the cause. I agree, there are a few changes in the 8.1 kernel.

I get the following error from the agent debugger.

Interesting, my agent error brings up the following stack exchange article - [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11517772/wcf-unsecured-or-incorrectly-secured-fault-was-received-from-the-other-party](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11517772/wcf-unsecured-or-incorrectly-secured-fault-was-received-from-the-other-party) includes the terminology “Access is Denied”

Finally. Looks like the windows time service was completely out of wack with the domain server. The date and time was significantly different (\>6 seconds + 1 day). Got the registration of the agent working after fixing that.
Wow the agent diagnostics tools are **INTENSE**
