FortiClient Installer: Unable to access image servers

[frolikovon]

Hi everyone!

Can't install FortiClient. I had this message: "Unable to access image servers".

Thanks.

Thank you, fortinet support, for having a long thread here with a frequent problem that many people have identified, and doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to resolve it, leaving this useless thread up to clog internet searches from others having the same problem looking for a solution.

SOLUTION! (for me and one other user, at least).
Try a different internet connection before starting the installation. After I downloaded the exe file I unplugged from my home wifi and switched to my work phone's hotspot. And suddenly it works.

I have the same problem. I've tried switching my internet connection, including my mobile phone hotspot, but nothing worked.

Try using your phone hotspot or a different WIFI SSID.

Hey in case anyone else happens upon this post with this issue, I was able to get around this by installing it using Winget.
