Error: 'Error 5: Setup was unsuccessful.'
Error 05: Unable to Setup Webex.
Error 5 during Webex installation.I receive an error 5 setup was unsuccessful message when joining a Webex meeting.
Cause:
These error messages mean that particular .CAB files are being blocked from downloading, or are timing out when downloading.
Change:
Changes have been made to network security.
Solution:
See bullet points below for resolving Error 05:
- Manually install the plug-in from the Support page of the Webex website.
- See article: WBX21270 - How Do I Download the Webex Client?.
- See article: WBX21270 - How Do I Download the Webex Client?.
- Network security may be blocking parts of the software download. This can be tested by bypassing the network security, or using an alternate connection.
- If using a Satellite connection, the Windows TCP settings may need to be modified. This can be done by directly modifying the Windows registry or by using a tool with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) such as Dr. TCP.
