IA console mode install fails on AIX 7.2 with AdoptOpenJDK JRE packaged
Folks,
I am running a bin built with InstallAnywhere 2017 and a packaged AdoptOpenJDK 11 on AIX 7.2.
All goes will until I come to the "language selection" panel where it exists out with the following exception (I have LAX_DEBUG=true set):
CHOOSE LOCALE BY NUMBER: 2 Selected Locale = English XMLScriptReader: unable to parse the provided script file. File may have been invalid... java.lang.NullPointerException at Flexeraan8.am(Unknown Source) at Flexeraan8.ak(Unknown Source) at Flexeraan8$1.aa(Unknown Source) at Flexeraair.ad(Unknown Source) at Flexeraan8.ac(Unknown Source) at com.zerog.ia.installer.LifeCycleManager.b1(Unknown Source) at com.zerog.ia.installer.LifeCycleManager.a8(Unknown Source) at com.zerog.ia.installer.LifeCycleManager.au(Unknown Source) at com.zerog.ia.installer.LifeCycleManager.consoleInstallMain(Unknown Source) at com.zerog.ia.installer.LifeCycleManager.executeApplication(Unknown Source) at com.zerog.ia.installer.Main.main(Unknown Source) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) at com.zerog.lax.LAX.launch(Unknown Source) at com.zerog.lax.LAX.main(Unknown Source) Unable to load the script.
======================================================= Installer User Interface Mode Not Supported Unable to load and to prepare the installer in console or silent mode. =======================================================
Here is how I invoke this and what uname gives me for AIX:
bash-5.0# uname -a AIX xxxxxxx.com 2 7 00FA80A94C00
./myinstaller-on-aix.bin -i console
I did read about similar issues on RedHat in this forum and also tried to follow their potential solution cases, but nothing really helped (my DISPLAY environment variable is unset).
I also read that some of this might be due to the VM packaged.
Finally, we build the same image for xLinux and zLinux as well as Windows using also AdoptOpenJDK and there all works well.
