Graphical installers are not supported by the VM

[mohansubramani]

Hi Experts,

Version: InstallAnyWhere 2010 SP1
OS : Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 (Santiago)

During start-up of install.bin in some of the Linux machines we were facing issue like, "Graphical installers are not supported by the VM" and it is throwing following error,

Preparing to install...
Extracting the JRE from the installer archive...
Unpacking the JRE...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...

Launching installer...

Graphical installers are not supported by the VM. The console mode will be used instead...

=======================================================

Installer User Interface Mode Not Supported

The installer cannot run in this UI mode. To specify the interface mode, use the -i command-line option, followed by the UI mode identifier. The valid UI modes identifiers are GUI, Console, and Silent.

=======================================================

I try to debug the issue using sh -i install.bin and found that only one error in the log ie, "chooseBundledVMs: unable to locate the vmpack directory". Please refer attached console error log for more details.

Am not able to find out exact root cause of the problem. Any idea what might be wrong here?

Thanks,
Mohan

This error usually means that some X graphical libraries are missing from the target system.
