bash: ./install: /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

    Hi,

    Did you try to install SCVMM agent with the following steps:

    Open an elevated command prompt on the VMM server.
    Go to the c:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center\Virtual Machine Manager\agents\Linux folder.
    Copy all the agent installation files from that folder to a new folder on the VM.

    Open the new folder on the VM, and run the following command: chmod +x install.

    Run either of these commands, depending on the operating system.

    PowerShell

    Copy
    ./install scvmmguestagent.1.0.0.544.x64.tar
    ./install scvmmguestagent.1.0.0.544.x86.tar

    When the agent installs on the VM the following files and folders will be created on the VHD:

    A default installation folder (/opt/microsoft/scvmmguestagent), and an installation log file (scvmm-install.log)
    A default log files folder - /var/opt/microsoft/scvmmagent/log
    A specialization log file (scvmm.log). This file is created when the virtual machine is deployed and specialized.
    A configuration file (scvmm.conf). This file contains the location of the log file and is used to control logging during deployment and specialization.
