We just received a batch of new clerk computers (the tiny Lenovo M73 type) and one out of the bunch only had Sophos pre-installed. The IEM client was no where to be found (taskbar icon or services pane). I tried downloading the IEM client installer and no matter what I do the program will not install the client.
I don't know if it's supposed to be a silent installer, but all it does is activate the hourglass a few times and then nothing else seems to happen. I've tried multiple times over many days with lots of restarts. Any idea where a log file might be stored? I'm lost with what to try next.

Re: IEM Client will not install
On the instructions for setting up a new clerk computer, it talks about how to see if the IEM client is installed:
https://www.lds.org/help/support/new-cl ... r?lang=engVerify the computer management software (IEM) is installed.
To verify that IEM is installed and working properly:
1. Click Start, type 'services' in the Search program and files box.
2. Click Services (with cog wheel icon) in the Programs list above.
3. Scroll down to see if 'IBM Endpoint Manager' appears in the list on the Services menu and is in the Started/Running state.
- If so, then IEM is installed and no further action is required.
- If not, or if it is there but not in the Started/Running state, follow the instructions found here to download and install it.

Re: IEM Client will not install
Correct, I did all of that. Nothing in the services pane like I said. I downloaded the client installer file from the link on that clerk support page (again, like I said previously). Double clicking it only makes the hour glass appear a few times and then nothing else happens.
I've never had this happen before. Not quite sure what's going on.

Re: IEM Client will not install
I am having a similar issue. I too was sent new computers (the tiny Lenovo type). After downloading MLS Version 3.8.1, the computer does not recognize the file type and prompts me to choose a program to open the file. None of the suggested programs are appropriate (e.g. internet explorer, adobe reader, notepad, windows media player). How do I get the computer to recognize and open the installer?

Re: IEM Client will not install
Is this a problem with the MLS installer or with the IEM client? Sounds like the program might have been corrupted during download. Might want to try downloading it again.

Re: IEM Client will not install
You've probably figure it out by now but JIC.... when you click on the link choose "Save As" rather than simple "Save". Add ".exe" to filename to be downloaded, and then you can run it.maw44 wrote:I am having a similar issue. I too was sent new computers (the tiny Lenovo type).
