Windows installer: "Login failed" during install

[rdickert]

Installing on Win7x64, the login step fails with "Login failed." alert box. I tried my username and two confirmed emails for my MDA. @justinsb confirmed the same problem.

Workaround: Just click the button "Skip this step" to complete installation. You can use meteor login in the cmd window.

Yeah in certain situations it might not work, and it's hard to identify what they are. Hopefully we can improve the installer in the future.

I have the same issue.

[Berkmann18]

I also have the same issue on Win10 x64.

[romaroma]

Same issue on two different PCs.

I actually managed to login but I did it instead in the console. Sorry, I forgot how exactly I did it, but yeah, login during installation seems to fail, but if you skip it and then do it on the console should work fine.

Here is what I get trying to login using console:

meteor login
Errors prevented isopacket load:

After this I just run meteor to test one of our projects, it downloaded a lot of extra stuff. And finally I was able to do meteor login. So it seems that the installer's bundle just can't do the login because it was supposed that some packages will be downloaded later.

@romaroma I got the same thing by trying to login on the GUI which failed then skipped it and tried to do meteor login which outputed this:

[kevman]

Same problem here!

[romaroma]

@Berkmann18 it seems that the issues are related to very long paths in distribution so meteor couldn't find its own packages. It was discussed in #7221. I managed to fix the problem by reinstalling meteor, it downloaded 1.3.4.1 that has no issues with running apps. Though login in GUI is still broken and new apps that use 1.3.3 had to be manually updated to 1.3.4.1.

[abernix]

Using the latest 1.3.4.1 installer, I can confirm that I was unable to log in using the GUI Installer's "login" dialog in Windows 7 Enterprise (32-bit) nor Windows 10 Enterprise (64-bit). However, I was able to log in manually on both with meteor login from the command prompt without receiving the isopacket ddp`` error.

[abernix]

@Berkmann18 & @kevman Can you confirm that the problem goes away if you try updating one of your existing projects to 1.3.4.1 before trying to log in (as @romaroma said worked for him). You should be able to meteor update --release 1.3.4.1 then meteor login.

[Berkmann18]

@abernix whenever I do meteor update --release 1.3.4.1 when being on the directory of a project, it outputs the "Error prevent isopacket load: ..." error same thing for meteor update and I'm on v1.3.3.

[abernix]

@Berkmann18 Perhaps try re-installing fresh with 1.3.4.1?:

• Uninstall Meteor:
  • Win10: Settings > System > Apps & features > Meteor > Uninstall
  • Win7: Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Meteor > Uninstall
• Using Windows Explorer, delete the .meteor folder from %LOCALAPPDATA% completely.
• Install fresh 1.3.4.1 from https://install.meteor.com/windows (skip logging in at end due to this login issue)
• Restart
• Open Command Prompt and type meteor --version to confirm it executes (the actual version isn't relevant).
• Then try meteor update --release 1.3.4.1 within your existing project

[Berkmann18]

@abernix Now it works, thank you.

[hwillson]

It sounds like this might now be resolved? I'll close this issue since there hasn't been any activity on it in a while, but please post back if anyone is still having a problem. Thanks!

Same problem with Meteor installer on windows 8 .
