This article helps administrators and IT teams quickly diagnose and resolve common issues with the Vibe Windows Digital Signage app, particularly during MSI deployment and post-installation setup.

MSI Deployment

If your Windows Digital Signage App has not installed following an MSI deployment:
  1. Check Your Command Lines! Ensure the following guidelines are followed:
    1. MSI Switch names (i.e. SS_WAIT_MIN) : Case sensitive and must be in UPPERCASE.
    2. Switch values (i.e. Yes / No) : Not case sensitive. 
  2. If the Digital Signage app does not appear in the installed applications after installing in quiet mode, ensure that .NET Framework 4.8 is installed before installing the Vibe Digital Signage app.

Post Installation

  1. Open Chrome from your Start menu or taskbar (not from the Launch Chrome button in the player)
