StackOverflowError running the 1.0.06beta Enterprise installer

ILGUIZ | Last updated: Oct 24, 2018 06:24PM UTC

I got the following error somewhere in or after the "Initializing database" phase of the 1.0.06 beta enterprise installer that uninstalled the existing version and proceeded to install itself in the same folder. We have Symantec Enterprise on this Windows machine enabled.

Hi Ilguiz, What version of Windows are you using? Do you have the rest of the installation log?

Burp User | Last updated: Oct 30, 2018 02:48PM UTC

Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1. It is managed by active directory policies, and I am not sure which of the local admin rights my domain account has on it. I have a the error file.

Hi Ilguiz, Do you mean the installation log? Could you please send it to support@portswigger.net so that we can investigate further.
