v7.7 is probably too old to upgrade directly to v8.1. Try upgrading to the latest v7.9 first.
I would expect this upgrade to work from 7.7 to 8.1. Make sure you check out the Upgrade Guides as well.
To me this looks like the data/ignition.conf
file is missing the wrapper.name=Ignition
value which is required to upgrade and install Ignition. you could also pass the serviceName=Ignition
argument to the installer (assuming that you left the default windows service name when installing 7.7)
The service name is actually Ignition Gateway.
How do I pass an argument to the installer in windows 10? Is that documented on the user manual?
Could I just add that argument to the config file then?
Are you sure this isn't just the the Display name? typically the ignition.conf has three values related to service name:
# Name of the service
wrapper.name=Ignition
# Display name of the service
wrapper.displayname=Ignition Gateway
# Description of the service
wrapper.description=Ignition Gateway
Make sure all three are present in ignition.conf. The argument is documented under Command Line Installations - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation if you want to go that route, but I typically recommend editing the ignition.conf in this specific case/issue.
Hope that helps,

The following is in my config file:
Name of the service
wrapper.ntservice.name=Ignition
Display name of the service
wrapper.ntservice.displayname=Ignition Gateway
Description of the service
wrapper.ntservice.description=Ignition Gateway
Should I add what you have above @jcoffman?
Thanks @jcoffman. I was able to get the installer to run by adding those items you listed to the .conf file.
