Problems with silent install of an AS10.1.2.0.2 infrastructure

Hello,
I posted this over on the database forum too. I'm trying to create a silent install for an AS 10.1.2.0.2 infrastructure database. I created the response file using the -record option for the installer. I then modified the response file according to the instructions in the app server installation documentation. When I run setup with the response file I get the follow error...

Why is the installer looking for ASControl? This should be a fresh install. Any help I can get would be much appreciated.

Do you already have an AS running on this machine? If you're doing a reinstall, did you remove the inventory and all appropiate registry settings?

Problem with silent install of 11gR1 on Windows 2008

I'm doing a silent install of 11gR1 on Windows Server 2008. It works fine on Windows Server 2003. I have SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK set to false, yet it seems to be forcing it to true and then it fails the install because I have an invalid metalink username/password. In the install log I get this, as expected:
INFO: Setting variable 'SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK' to 'false'. Received the value from response file.
but then I get this later on:
INFO: Setting the value of SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK to true
INFO: Setting variable 'SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK' to 'true'. Received the value from a code block.
SEVERE: Invalid MetaLink credentials. Specify the correct e-mail address and password that you use to log in to MetaLink.
INFO: User Selected: Yes/OK
Invalid MetaLink credentials. Specify the correct e-mail address and password that you use to log in to MetaLink.
Why is it forcing this to true? As I said, this same exact response file works fine with Server 2003. Any suggestions?
Oh, also, I've tried forcing the value to false on the command line and by not specifiying a value (because the default is supposedly false).
Thanks in advance

Here is the command line I used on the last attempt:
setup -silent "ACCEPT_LICENSE_AGREEMENT=true" -responseFile C:\database\standard11.rsp -waitforcompletion -nowait

Problems performing silent install of CR XI Rel 2

We are using the instructions from the installation guide to perform a silent install by running the command
setup.exe ADDLOCAL=ALL EXCLUDEDOTNETFILES=1 EXCLUDEJAVAFILES=1 EXCLUDERDCFILES=1 CLIENTLANGUAGE=EN REBOOT=ReallySuppress PIDKEY=(actualKey) INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5" /live c:\temp\cr_11.log /qn
The installation runs but fails at the end of the installation when attempting to put the shortcuts in the users or All users Start Menu with the error of MainEngineThread is returning 1603 (when under user ID) or MainEngineThread is returning 1604 (when under All Users). The installation is being run with an administrator access login ID, so access to either area should not be a problem.
The installation is on both Windows 2000 and XP pc's and the win32 directory of the msi installation files have been copied locally to the machine as part of the process to eliminate network lag.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get past this?

Check the readme and help files on how to.

Sequencing with silent install

When sequencing one could run through the GUI's of a setup. After that some adjustments are likely needed like deleting the uninstall/desktop shortcut and so on.
The other possibility is to use a silent setup as input for the sequencer. A lot off applications come with a vendor .MSI nowadays. This gives the opportunity to create a transform file which in many occasions can prevent the creation of uninstall/desktop shortcuts
and other customization's as needed.
Now, I'm writing guidelines on how external parties should deliver app-v packages to us. I stated that, if possible, they should deliver the command line of the silent setup used as input for the sequencer. However, they see this as the creation of two packages,
MSI/silent setup and App-V.
I wanted to check how other people work. Do they first create a silent setup and use that as input or do they launch the setup GUI and repeat what is documented in the manual installation document.
In my opinion the advantage of using a silent setup as input is that you can easily replicate a local install in case there is a problem with the appv package. It also customizes the setup during install so adjustments afterwards are not needed, resulting in
a somewhat cleaner package. The 3th advantage I see is that often you can reuse the .mst/command line when a new version is needed.
What are your thoughts on requesting a silent install from the sequencers?

What are your thoughts on requesting a silent install from the sequencers?
This is a perfect case of there is no wrong way to do it, but what you said above is very true. In fact, packaging software like Flexera Admin Studio encourage you to do it this way. They don't want you to think of a package as a single deployment
type, but rather however you want to deploy the software (MSI, App-V, etc).
The investment in time is likely the biggest hurdle. When you have to do something simple, creating an MSI/silent command first and then creating an App-V package is 2x the work. Its not a bad standard to go with though. And as Tibervis
said, it does come in handy if you need to perform an upgrade or otherwise need to start sequencing from scratch again. It is in my opinion 2 packages, just as it would be 2 packages to create an App-V 4 and App-V 5 package even if you used powershell
to convert the 4x package to 5. This gets very into your process though.
Just watch out you aren't making you own life 10x harder to protect yourself from something that only might happen a small percentage of the time. Keep in mind that there are also going to be deployments where the App-V package requires work the MSI
doesn't - a driver, a component that needs to be outside the bubble, etc. Having an MSI won't help you create the App-V in that case, and if you ask packagers to create an MSI, an App-V, and an App-V instruction guide (for packagers eyes only) you might
be shot on sight.

Hi,
Just Pro 7.0.0 (I'll integrate the patches to 7.0.9 later)
I'm not keen on an Admin install, as this poses problems when patching (i.e. you have to do a "reinstall=All"). I prefer to integrate released patches into the silent install package, and for subsequent patches, just package them for silent install and push them down to the client.
Reader 8.0 is on the machine only.
The base build contains Reader 8.0, the we deliver a package to the machine to silently install Acrobat Pro 7
Thanks,
mark

Problems with new instalation of Photoshop Elements 12

Windows 7
I have had continual problems with PE 9 with error messages to uninstall and reinstall Error 16.
So I thought buy version 12 that should do the trick BUT NO I uninstalled version 9 and installed 12 from disk on the 20th August.
Updated with Application Manager and all was well. Yesterday will not load and Error 16 as before. Tried run as administrator and was told I needed a newer version of Update Manager. Downloaded and installed version 8 still no joy and this then updated to Adobe Creative Cloud. The Application still will not open and I am getting fed up with Adobe applications, when they work their fine but I have no luck getting them to work long term.
Having bought this I am reluctant to move on and incur the cost of an alternative but I am fast running out of patience with Adobe
Any Hep Would Be Appreciated

Barbara B
Thanks for link. Worked through Windows Vista/7 settings got to Set permissions but no Adobe PCD folder. Uninstalled and reinstalled PE 12 software 5/9, PCD now there and application running OK as was the initial installation.
6/9 on start-up, Creative Cloud identified update for PE 12, Application Manager appeared and I run update, after, application running OK and Adobe PCD still there. Checked settings and permissions against link document permissions not as suggested but application working so made no changes.Will the application continue to work, that’s the next question, from previous experience with the initial installation and with PE 9, I have my doubts.
If the loss of Adobe PCD is the cause of the problem, what makes it disappear ?

Problems with Tiger Install

Previously having OS 10.2, I tried to install 10.4 from an installation disc over 10.2, and it failed to install. After failing to install, the computer made me restart, and now it goes to a screen giving an error about a Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5 Driver. The Computer can't find drivers for 10.4 and 10.5. I cannot boot from an Apple I-care disc, the machine tries to boot into an OS, but there is a question mark, instead of an OS Icon in the middle of the screen, and then shortly after comes the error message. The machine locks up.
I thought maybee the problem was intalling OS10.4 as an update, because there was a gap between version previously installed and the new one, but the installation guide says OS 10.2 or later is updatable.
Please Help.

Hi Brandon,
If you are not able to start up from your installation DVD there might be a problem with your DVD drive.
If this is the case then there are two things you might do:
1- (and most obvious) take your Mac in for repair.
2- Fire Wire Target Disk Mode... (For this option you will need a second Mac)
- Target Disk Mode will basically turn your iMac into an external HD, by doing this you will be able to use a second Mac with a working disc drive to start up from the Tiger DVD and then install it on your iMac.
If you are going to do this it is important that no other FireWire devices are connected to either of the computers.
How to start your iMac in Target Disk Mode: Start up the computer and immediately press and hold down the T key until the FireWire icon appears.
Once you have done this connect it to the second Mac (with FireWire)
Now insert the Tiger DVD in the second Mac, when the disk appears on the Desktop open it and double click on "install"
A window with a restart button will appear... click and restart (there will be no need to hold the "c" key.
Once the computer has started up from the Tiger DVD you need to find UTILITIES or TOOLS (i can remember the exact name) on the top bar
Click on it and open Disk Utility then follow the steps of my previous post.
Make sure that you have selected the correct HD to erase and install (it will not be the first one on the list)
Good Luck.

Problems with re-installing OS X

Hi,
I have recently had some problems with my iBook G4, it ran very slow and I could hear the Hard Drive constantly spinning. So I think about doing a fresh install of OSX to see if that would solve the problem, so I went to the apple support and saw that it would work if I followed the installation. Everything was working well. in the installation, I erased everything on the hard drive (I did have everything backed up...) and started the installation. (Just let me say here that I have 4 CDs that came with my iBook to install panther and it also came with a dvd to upgrade to tiger [I bought the day they relesed tiger]) on both installation disks once I satrted installing it said "there were errors installing this software please try again" I had tried many times again. and nothing has happened since.
Does anybody think they could give me a hand? it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Try this:
1. Boot from your Panther Installer Disk. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled, if supported.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
7. Once the formatting has completed quit DU to return to the installer. Proceed with the installation of Panther.

[SOLVED] Problem with net install cd

Trying to install Arch on an old Asus P4BGL-MX board which is proprietary, probably something HP. I have had no problems using the net install CD on 3 other Asus boards. What happens is the install process starts (booting the kernel) and then halts with the screen black and the computer hung.
The last line before black screen is: [13.34178412] ACPI: Invalid PBLK length [5]
==>> I think problem solved, but I don't understand it. The board has on board Intel graphics, but I had an ATI PCI card installed with bios set for it. Took it out and now the install goes as it should. I'm marking this post as solved, but if anyone could shed some light on this, it would be appreciated.

The syntax of the Processor declaration is as follows:

Section 18.5.93 of the ACPI specification states that the PBlockLength is the length of the processor register block, in bytes and is either 0 (for no P_BLK) or 6. In your case, the it's been set to 0x05 in the first Processor declaration which is definetly not compliant with the specification, hence the kernel warning message. The ACPI specification can be downloaded from http://www.acpi.info/DOWNLOADS/ACPIspec40.pdf if your are interested in the details.
As it is, this is not a kernel bug, but a warning from the kernel that your BIOS is buggy and needs fixing. I suggest informing the manufacturer so that they can fix the BIOS.

Problems with Nforce4 install - audio/ethernet/raid

Just installed my Neo4 Platinum Nforce4 with XP Home SP2. I have a problem with the drivers. I went to the Nvidia site and download both the Unified Drivers and the standalone Kit for XP.
The unified driver set didn't seem to do anything at all, it seemed to quit half way through the install without giving me any finished message. A quick look in device manager and I saw about seven items with yellow warnings!
I then tried the standalone kit which worked better, however after the install I am still left with 3 items in device manager that are giving me warnings. Multimedia Audio Controller, Ethernet Controll & Serial ATA RAID controller. I have no audio at all, I just the BIOS is all is OK, as it is for everything else. In the sound section of control panel there is no audio hardware available.
Can anyone help please? I dunno what I could have done wrong. It's a fresh install.

I have now done eveything you've said. I installed the Nforce drivers off the CD, and then installed Realtek, Ethernet & RAID via Live update. I also tried to do the NVMixer & Nvidia Audio install install. I installed realtek from the add/remove software menu. I then went into add new hardware and did manual install, show all hardware, have disk. Then I browsed to the Nvidia Audio codec folder on my desktop that I download. I was given an option of two drivers "nvmcp" & "nvmpu". I picked the first and ended up choosed "Nvidia audio codec interface" which then installed. It then appeared in device manager. However, when I clicked the audio panel in control panel I still get no audio device installed? I then tried to install NVMixer and when I try to run the application I get this message:
"the application cannot start because it could not detect any NVIDIA Nforce hardware on your system...."
What am I doing wrong? When I did the driver install there were two things listed in each driver "nvidia audio codec interface" and also "nvidia audio processing unit", which should I be choosing? Even if I try and installed the "MVP audio processing unit" I'll get a code(10) device cannot start in device manager. This is kinda confusing.
I also wondered about the RAID controller software. The silicon image drivers that came on the MSI seem horrible, they installed Java too. Is there any way to disable this controller? In the BIOS I can only see one option to enable RAID and when this is enabled device mananger will show an error on an "unknown device". I assume this is the NVRaid? and speaking of NVraid which is mentioned in big fat type on the back of the MSI box, so far I've seen or heard none of it during this installtion?

Help with Silent Install

Hi
I'm trying to perform a silent install of XE in winXP sp2 and get the same result each time, the installs starts up shows an icon on the taskbar and then exits with resultcode=-3.
I've been through the forums and tried everything possible so far without success.
The normal install works fine and I was able to create a response file which I then attempted to use for the silent install, I also tried the response file on the Oracle site with the same result. Is there anyway to determine at which dialog the installer is failing or is there anything else I can try?
Thanks
Govind

What userid are you using to perform the install?
Because of the way my company manages security on our laptops, I had to create a "local" account on the laptop. Then add that "local" account as part of the Administrators of the laptop. My typical "network" based account would not complete the install EVEN THOUGH THAT "network" account was part of the Administrators group on the laptop.
There is also a feature called RunAs on Windows that allows you to run a scheduled install like the silent one using a different userid from the one you are logged in as.

Repackaging Safari 5.1.7 with silent install and custom settings

Hi everyone,
I'm searching for a solution to create a custom installation for Safari 5.1.7.
I accomplished the same task for other browsers using the MSI extraction from the .EXE installer and using different methods to set custom settings like: EULA accepted, default home page, etc during the installation process.
My question here is if Apple supports or allows to do a redistribution of its application for large Windows Enterprise environments with this kind of custom settings using either Flexera Install Shield or any other to modify the MSI installer and accomplish this task without the need of using external .JS, .XML files like other browser silent installations supports for redistribution / repackaging.
I isolated the Safari MSI file to prevent the installation of the other software that comes with the main .EXE: AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi, Bonjour and Bonjour64.msi, SetupAdmin.exe but I can't modify the default home page or prevent the prompt to set the default browser from inside the MSI to have it done.
This custom settings should be done in a more elegant way than using Regedit to search for the changes after the Setup finishes.
If you have any answer for this please let me know.
Kind regards.

Well I guess I have to reply to myself. No one seems to know this one.
I found that : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2316559?threadID=2316559 is Not working for Safari 5.1.7 on Windows 7 x64 even if you tried to open the pslist file from : ...\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\Preferences\com.apple.Safari.plist the file seems that will be set as per user and even if you modify it it will not work.
No support has been found to have a GPO neither Flexera Admin Sudio Repackager or Tunner has succeeded to repackage or Build a successful MSI using Isolate or Installation Monitoring process due to some errors during the installation pointing to folder : C:\Windows\winsxs
So, basically I just need to confirm with any Apple guru if this is Possible or Not to do that or what could be the solution to get a normal SCCM 2012 package for Safari 5.1.7 with custom settings: Home Page, Disable ask for Default Browser, Disable Ask for Updates.
By the way I have the switches that works fine for Silent install and it works fine:
msiexec /i Safari.msi /qn SCHEDULE_ASUW=0 DESKTOP_SHORTCUTS=1 installdir="%programfiles(x86)%\Safari" allusers=true reboot=suppress
I will really appreciate if some one replies asap !!!!
Thanks and Kind regards.
