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.
Solved! Go to Solution.
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 ????

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.

Running
ai$ sudo find / -name "For*lient*"
gave few results one of which is:
/private/var/folders/1n/892btz4x6mbd84z6qx18p6mm0000gn/T/fctupdate/FortiClient.dmg
This is the offline installer. Transferred it to the other Mac and it worked.
Many thanks for your helpful hint.
Cheers.

Mine does not show that name but , FWIW the md5 checksum and the 5.6.1.723 dmg was from a direct download.
YMMV
