Created attachment 540840 [details] rhq-agent-update.log I've found out, that files of new agent were not extracted, thatswhy rhq-agent.bat could not be found. After taking a look at agent-update.log it seems that upgrading failed because agent was not able to delete current agent dir (there was a cmd running) So .. not sure it this is a bug or not
This appears to be related to the agent not been started in the background prior to the autoupgrade. Mazz, can you point you at the docs for setting this up correctly, but this does not appear to be a blocker right now
right, this isn't a bug. you need to prepare your agents at install time to be "upgradable". Please read this: http://rhq-project.org/display/JOPR2/RHQ+Agent+Installation#RHQAgentInstallation-PreparingYourAgentToBeAutoUpdatable The short of it is - you need to run the agent as a service (which 99% of the time isn't an issue - in production environments, you will want to run things like the agent as boot time services that start up as background daemons). Specifically, on Windows if you start the agent like you did, it is expected not to work as you have seen. Read that section of the docs and it will explain what you needed to do.
