I assume this happens on a x86_64 box? Any chance you can get me the ohai output. If you don't wan to post it here you can e-mail it to me at [email protected]

[rayterrill]

@tas50 Email sent. Let me know if I can provide any more info.

[rayterrill]

@tas50 were you able to look into this mate? Any workaround potentially?

[gaelik]

We have the same issue here, let us know if you need more debug/output logs

[tas50]

@gaelik is your issue also coming from the updater cookbook or is it from the install.ps1 script directly?

[derrike]

I have the same issue - using Windows Server 2016 & Windows Server 2019 w/ the updater cookbook.
