Hi Rakesh,

Please try the installation again, and then session into the service module to observe the installation process. You should eventually see an error message pointing to the cause of the installation failure. If you are uncertain regarding how to proceed, please post the entire list of messages and provide your complete router configuration as well.

Thanks,

Brett
