Hi,

Can someone tell me where (in the MacBook OS Sierra file system) the FortiClient 5.7 online installer puts the PKG file after it finishes the download?

In one MacBook I am getting "No installer found in FDS" server error but in another MacBook, the online installer (dmg file) seem to download fine.

But I cannot locate the downloaded file in the file system. What I am trying to do is transfer the downloaded file onto the other MacBook where its not working in the hope of trying to bypass this broken installer issue.

Thanks a lot.

sudo find / -name "F*lient*"

check files on working macosx and then use that atime in your unix find

sudo find / -name "Forti*" -atime +2d

e.g binaries are here

/Library/Application\ Support/Fortinet/FortiClient/

PKG is ????

Yes thats the very first thing I did.

find / -name "Fort*.pkg"

find / -name "*.pkg"

and all variants.

Also tried searching in /Volumes where the onlineInstaller dmg was mounted.

I also tried modifying the command described here to echo the path to the pkg file but with no luck.

I dont have a support contract with FortiClient to actually go download the offline installer and currently in the process of going through the VPN vendor that does - but looking at doing it this way to save time as that process might take ages.
