Creating the 5.6.1 installer works, well it's listed and downloadable. However pushing the 5.6.1 install via EMS to a client PC broke FortiClient completely. The install ran but when the laptop rebooted FC had disappeared completely, looks like the uninstall of the previous client worked but the 5.6.1 install failed. So I rebooted the laptop and downloaded the 5.6.1 installer from the EMS server but when running it get "The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package". Now manually installing 5.4.4 build created by EMS. Once that's installed I'll reboot and try 5.6.1 again.
See attached screen grab.
I've just done the same! Ticket No. 2440807
did the same here: ticket number 2440851 . Rescheduled the installer to start at 11:50PM

Yup it's a known bug, there's a customer support bulletin available explaining it, looks like the fix will be out in 5.6.2 due for release on Nov 13th.
Customer Support Bulletin CSB-171110-1 FortiClient 5.6.1 Installation Package Failure 2017-11-10 Subject: FortiClient 5.6.1 Installation Package Failure Released: 2017-11-10 Modified: 2017-11-10 Product: FortiClient 5.6.1
Description:
Upon creation of a FortiClient 5.6.1 installation package when created by the Enterprise Management Server (EMS), the package encounters an error. The issue occurs if EMS downloads FortiClient 5.6.1 from the FortiGuard network. When the error occurs, EMS displays the following message:
Possibly Affected Products:

Remedy:
FortClient 5.6.2 will correct this issue and will be released by 13th November
