Autoinstaller shows components to be installed that won´t install

[LarsenD]

This is just a bug report. No help needed as it doesn´t seem to cause problems.

When I start the CLI autoinstaller, I always see 2 components already selected, but when I want to install right away, the installer tells me that nothing was selected:

Main components list for Parallels Plesk
===============================================================================

There are some basic Plesk components which are always selected and you even can't deselect them, even if you try very hard, because they are essential for Plesk.

Why should any of them be selected to be updated when there is nothing to update?

 

[UFHH01]

You have a mistake in your thoughts at the moment. The provided output in your post shows the usage of autoinstaller, without any specifications. To be sure, that you don't remove some basic Plesk components, which are essential, they are always selected, it might be more clear, if you would see the "full" output which you might see, when you use the webinstaller, because these essential components can't be de-selected. There might be as well updates for these components, which is as well more clear, if you use the webinstaller, which shows exactly for which components updates are available.
To come back to the basic autoinstaller view and it's basic choice of several components, you have the possibilty to add/remove all other components, but the already choosen ones.

No, you don´t get it. There is a difference between being installed and being selected.

"2 of 45 components selected" vs. "To continue, you must select at least one component."
Do you think this is logical? I don´t. I didn´t select anything, so the second phrase is correct. The first one isn´t. It should be "0 of 45".

 

[UFHH01]

To avoid issues regarding a deselection of an essential component, the essential basic components are already selected... if you want to or if you don't want to is in this case no userchoice.

@parallels: will this be fixed?
