    Description:  

    When adding conf_version to the L4W config.json file and attempting to install L4W the following error is encountered:

    MSI (s) (64!44) [12:23:55:944]: Product: SecureAuth Login for Windows -- Error parsing and validating configuration file - see log file for details

     

    Cause:  

    The config.json file is still in conf_version 1 format and so invalid for conf_version 2 or higher.

     

     

    Resolution:  

    Check that the host, id and secret are added to the apis array as shown below, then try installing again.

    • I believe conf_version should not be in quotes (ie: "2 ") .
      The correct format should be without quotes per the L4W documentation:
      "conf_version": 2,
