Seqcli forwarder install - Service executable points to missing executable file (2025.2.2443)

Open nin-existec opened this issue 5 months ago • 3 comments

Hello,

I'm currently trying to automate installation of a Seq forwarder using the new Seqcli tools.

I am aware that this is still in the preview phase, but recently I tried to run the following command:

seqcli forwarder install --pre --storage="PATH_TO_STORAGE" --listen="LISTEN_ADDRESS"

It sets up everything for the windows service correctly, but it points to an executable that does not exist (I have replaced the leading path and storage paths as they were not important):

BASE_DRIVE_PATH_ON_MACHINE\.dotnet\tools\.store\seqcli\2025.2.2432\seqcli\2025.2.2432\tools\net9.0\any\seqcli.exe" forwarder run --pre --storage="PATH_TO_STORAGE"

When I look in that folder, no seqcli.exe file exists.

The currently installed version is "2025.2.2443" and has been installed with the command:

dotnet tool install --global seqcli

Am I doing something wrong or was there supposed to be an executable file at the path?
