one more update... i tried deleting the entire triggercmd folder under c:\users (which was still there after i uninstalled the agent from the windows control panel). i also deleted the pc from my profile at triggercmd.com.
this allowed me to run the agent exe app again and enter a fresh token but that ultimately led to the same java error saying that the command.json.backup file does not exist... and sure enough when i check the triggercmd file which was recreated there is a command.json file but no backupfile.
i have a jpg of the exact error message but not sure how to post it in this forum.
pls help. i am very excited to use this system.

thanks

@karl-g, please uninstall and re-download from the site. I took the new version I created last weekend down, and put v1.0.19 back because you and one other person reported this issue.

EDIT: I found the problem and fixed it in the latest version of the agent, so now you won't get that error during the Windows agent installation.

Hi Russ,
So following your instructions I was able to install the agent successfully but when I try to run a command using the "play" button in the GUI editor nothing happens. I am able to manually execute the batch file from explorer so I know that it works. it just seems that the agent is failing to actually run the file. its a very simple path too so I dont think the path is the issue:

C:\x10 shorts\bedroom heater on.bat

any thoughts?
Thanks again for your help
Karl

@karl-g, I see you have a space in the path to your batch file, so you'll need to add quotes around it like this:

"C:\x10 shorts\bedroom heater on.bat"

@Russ i am having this problem currently

Russ

@Francisco-Torrealba, which problem? The agent won't run your command? Can you paste your command here? If it has spaces it in, you'll need to quote it (see above).

Ignore me. i'm dumb. I must've repurposed this PC at some point. I deleted all the folders mentioned in the error, renamed the PC and removed the it my Computer list.

All good in the hood now!

This just started happening to me too. It gives me the error but after a couple of tries it installs. At least it looks like it does. Icon appears in systray but I can't interact with. Nothing happens when I right click on it. Other systray app work as they should.

Any ideas?

Russ

@Smart-Communities, I've actually seen that before. I just clicked the little up arrow ^ that brings up all the tray icons, then it works. Is that what you see too?

Smart Communities

@Russ The tray icon was there but it was unclickable. When I deleted those folders and the PC from my computer list on triggercmd admin, I was then able to reinstall and everything then worked as it should.
