We have to unzip the ZenPacks if in zip format before installing them. Typically egg files are zipped. In this case, there is a directory zipped.

For this ZenPack, there are no instructions as to where to install this. I need to know where to unzip the directory to with version 2.5.1 of Zenoss on the main server.Should I install this in the same directory for a data collector?

Can someone help? With 2.4.2, I have a the directory installed under /opt/zenoss/Products. Is this the same path for 2.5.1?

Please let me know.

The WMI Device Template is a .zip because it's an older ZenPack that uses command line scripts. .zip ZenPacks are older and not as safe to install since they install themselves into the application's directories instead of under /ZenPacks. If this ZenPack is still useful it could be updated to the .egg style. Migrating ZIP ZenPacks to EGGs .Zip ZenPacks are currently deprecated with 2.5 and we should be removing support for them in the next major release.

It does'n seem to be installed (not shown in settings) but i get errors in the Eventlog (Cmd: $ZENHOME/Products/WindowsWMIDeviceTemplateV2/libexec/check_wmic_disk.pl "10.64.152.33" "xxx" "xxx" - Code: 126 - Msg: Command invoked cannot execute, permissions problem or command is not an executable).
