• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey.

  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Resolved Update to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.27 keeps failing

ChananZ

New Pleskian
When we try to update to the latest Obsidian version (18.0.27), it continuously fails with the following error message:

------------
Unable to obtain the required version of Plesk Installer: The required version '3.27.0' was not found on the server.
This could happen because of configuration error at the installation source.
The version 3.27.0.0 that was downloaded is not suitable for installation of the product you selected.
-------------

All past updates went through smoothly. This is the first time we see any problem.
The error has been showing starting 3 days ago.

Windows Server 2012 R2

Thanks for any ideas.
 
Try to do the following:

1. Download the plesk-installer.exe from the following link: https://installer-win.plesk.com/plesk-installer.exe

2. On the same directory in Windows Explorer (where the plesk-installer.exe file was downloaded), hold the Shift key and right-clicked > clicked Open command prompt from here;

3. Run the downloaded file and proceed with the update:

C:\> plesk-installer.exe --console
 
We've just followed your instructions.
Unfortunately, the result is the same:

------------
Unable to obtain the required version of Plesk Installer: The required version '3.27.0' was not found on the server.
This could happen because of configuration error at the installation source.
The version 3.27.0.0 that was downloaded is not suitable for installation of the product you selected.
-------------

Is there any log file we can examine to view where the problem is? The general Event Viewer does not offer any related to the Installer.
Thanks.
 
We tried it again, and this time everything worked smoothly. Thanks!!
The reason it didn't work the first time was that we followed the instructions displayed after opening the downloaded file (plesk-installer.exe).
Following your original instructions and using the command prompt, calling the plesk-installer.exe that we've just downloaded, solved everything.

Many thanks!
