Plug-in packages are missing after the SnapCenter server installation

Applies to

• SnapCenter Server 4.9 (SC)
• SnapCenter Server 4.9P1 (SC)
• Any SnapCenter Plug-in installation

Issue

• Unable to install any plug-in packages for SC as the C:\ProgramData\NetApp\SnapCenter\Package Repository folder is empty as the Integrity_verifier log or SC_Package_Extraction_Log_<timestamp>.log shows zero files in the above directory:

Total files to be checked - 1215
Enter method GetDirectoryFileInfoList
-Include NetApp files - False
-Path used - C:\ProgramData\NetApp\SnapCenter\Package Repository, File count - 0

• The InstallShield log shows that the installation cannot open DLL assembly files:
