when I try to install the PowerTools on a 2013 sp1 environment I get the following error: enter image description here

Is anyone familiar with this error and how to fix this?

When I run the installer with logging this is a part of the output where it goes wrong:

  • Can you try running the installing with logging and see what that leads to? Example: msiexec /i "PowerTools 2013 SP1.msi" /L*V "C:\powertools-install.log"

    Could you check if you have the "IIS Management Compatibility" server role installed on the machine?

  • It would also help if you could post the entire log file (or make it available somewhere, if you think it's too big for the question)

Please ensure that you have installed the "IIS Management Compatibility" server role on your machine. This is needed to modify the Tridion website to add the virtual directories for the PowerTools editor and model.

  • Does Powertools work with Web 8? I have not been able to get it to work within my instances..

    No, there is no version of the PowerTools for Web 8. I don't foresee one in the near future either. There hasn't been much activity on it lately. Personally, I'm thinking about creating individual Alchemy plugins for some of them instead...
