Plesk Update fails: The MD5 checksum of the plesk-nssm.zip.tmp file does not match the value specified in the configuration file

Symptoms

Plesk Update/installation fails with the following error message:

CONFIG_TEXT: The MD5 checksum of the C:\ProgramData\Plesk\Installer\cache\pool\release\PLESK-WIN_18.0.39_7267\dist-windows\plesk-nssm.zip.tmp file does not match the value specified in the configuration file.

Cause

The file plesk-nssm.zip.tmp is corrupted. This may happen when antivirus/firewall blocks it.

Resolution

1. Connect to the Plesk server via RDP.

2. Go to C:\ProgramData\Plesk\Installer\cache\pool\release and search for "plesk-nssm.zip.tmp". Once found, rename this .tmp file.

3. Download the package plesk-nssm.zip from autoinstall-win.plesk.com (> PANEL-WIN_18.0.XX > dist-windows).

4. Copy the package to C:\ProgramData\Plesk\Installer\cache\pool\release\PLESK-WIN_18.0.XX_XXXX\dist-windows\ (choose the latest file version).

5. Rerun Plesk Update:

   # plesk installer update
