Problems with ant script

[Valdur]

Hi, anyone have an idea why this down work?

  
     
       
         
       
     
    
    
      IALocation="C:\Program Files\InstallAnywhere2008" 
      IAProjectFile="C:\projects\erpinstall_ia\TDPR3\TDPR3.iap_xml"
      BuildWebInstaller="true"
      OptimizeWebInstaller="true"
      InstallerStdErrRedirect="C:\console.txt"
      /> 
      
      
        
           WinIA64
          SunJRE142_04iWin64.vm
          
     
   
      

This error occurs:

And I suppose that your installation of IA 2008 is complete, right? Have you registered the software?

[Valdur]

I can manually build installer, so i think its installed correctly and i have registered it already also...

[pv7721]

I've seen this behaviour in the past: http://community.zerog.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?s=4745751a286cffff;act=ST;f=12;t=7568;hl=this+and+is+and+an+and+incomplete+and+installation
unfortunately it seems that still it hasn't been fixed.

[Valdur]

Hmm ok i tried it on my build maschine and there no error occurs ...

not good that it dont works on my local maschine 😞

but thanks anyway

[pv7721]

From your last post I understand that you've got two different installations of IA, one on your build machine (which works, and which I assume it's registered) and you also have another installation on your development machine, where setup building with ANT doesn't work. Is this installation registered? You've actually bought 2 different licenses?

[Valdur]

yes,

if i only use this part the ant script work

  IALocation="C:\Program Files\Macrovision\InstallAnywhere 2008 Enterprise" 

  IAProjectFile="C:\Projects\myproject.iap_xml" 

  BuildLinuxWithoutVM="true" 
  BuildWindowsWithoutVM="true" 
  BuildWebInstallers="true"
  OptimizeWebInstallers="true"
  InstallerStdErrRedirect="C:\console.txt"
  >

this part curses the error... but i need this part, because as far as i know, its posible here to define build targets without changing anything in IA

  
    
      true

I'm not sure why exactly do you need to specify the NoVM option for MacOsX as AFAIK you can only build setups without embedding the VM for this platform (they always rely on the installed VM).

[Valdur]

i copied this from the tutorial for an example, i dont need mac os but i need this:

    
        sun_win32_13.exe
    
    
        ibmjre142-winIA64-installer.exe
    
    
        ibm_linux64_131_glibc.bin
    
    
        ibm_linux_142sr4.bin
    

same error...

[pv7721]

Personally I use a different approach: I launch the build.exe using exec with the appropriate parameters (with / without VM, with / without a certain platform).

[Valdur]

that would be posible if all windows binaries would be availible at the same time ... for IA64 AMD64 ... unfurtunately they are not and I have to build e.g only the IA64.
If I use now this build command:

build.exe D:\Projects\erpinstall_ia\TDPR3\TDPR3.iap_xml +WV

the builder starts to build Windows packages for all Windows kinds.

but thats what i want to avoid, i only want the IA64 package...

[dramis]

I get this message, too.

"This is an incomplete installation of InstallAnywhere 2008 Evaluation."

It doesn't take too much to produce the error... just invoke the build.exe:

C:\InstallAnywhere2008Enterprise>build
IAResourceBundle: create resource bundle: en
IAResourceBundle: create resource bundle: en
This is an incomplete installation of InstallAnywhere 2008 Evaluation.

This happens on my 2nd PC installation (also registered). Also, the GUI InstallAnywhere build works fine. With the 1st PC installation, the command-line "build" is still ok (no error).

Macrovision, please advise !

[Yves_Kreis]

Do you have two licenses of IA?

Best Regards,
Yves

[dramis]

I've registered for 2 licenses and 2 upgrades for InstallAnywhere 2008:

IBM License Number(s), Registration Date, Original/Upgrade Type
34 11/10/2007 Original
35 11/10/2007 Original
36 11/10/2007 Version Upgrade
37 11/10/2007 Version Upgrade
4 total license(s)

Why would the command-line interface "build.exe" be any different from the GUI build (from the standpoint of licensing ?)

Thanks.

[pv7721]

Indeed, there should be no difference. But as I've already said, this issue arose occasionally in the past, and from what it seems it's still not fixed. Maybe you would like to contact directly the Macrovision support (I think the support is free if your issue is caused by a bug).

IAResourceBundle: create resource bundle: en
This is an incomplete installation of InstallAnywhere 8 Evaluation.

I got this message as well.

I uninstalled and reinstalled many time to no avail.

Then I found an InstallAnywhere directory in my Documents and Settings folder. I removed this and reinstalled and it works fine now.

This was on Windows

Hope this helps someone.

Normally, the respective folder holds all the IA settings AND the registration information.

I looked carefully at the first posting of your ant script. It looks like you closed the buildinstaller tag too early. Shouldn't the configuration tag be inside the build installer?

  
     
       
         
       
     
    
    
      IALocation="C:\Program Files\InstallAnywhere2008" 
      IAProjectFile="C:\projects\erpinstall_ia\TDPR3\TDPR3.iap_xml"
      BuildWebInstaller="true"
      OptimizeWebInstaller="true"
      InstallerStdErrRedirect="C:\console.txt"
      > 
      
        
          
            WinIA64
            SunJRE142_04iWin64.vm
            
        
     
   
      

Maybe I'm wrong. I just haven't used this just yet.

[Valdur]

Im also not shure i tried serveral things but nothing works the way i wanted... and if you check the manuals there will be different ways to do the same thing but some of them dont work!

[cruelfate]

.. and haven't found a resolution. I have a valid license. It used to work from both ANT and GUI. Then it stopped working. I nuked stuff in %USERPROFILE% and re-registered. GUI works not. Command-line and ANT are hopeless.

Did anybody get around this?
