ant build task exits with error 255

[tfromm1]

After the successful use of the IA2008VP1 IDE to build the setups, I tried to use the Ant task to create an build:

 
        
            
        
 

...

But when I receive an error:

[CODE]
[builder] Dies ist eine unvollständige Installation von InstallAnywhere 2008 VP1 Evaluation.
[builder] Result: 255

BUILD FAILED
[/CODE]

The error message is german but means:
"This is an incompletly installation of ... "

I've set LAX_DEBUG=true to get more debug output. This I've attached.
I tried to install IA2008VP1 into other directory, and set the IA_DIR environment variable to the new directory, the same error appears.
If I set the IA_DIR to my IA2008 installation, the build works.

Any ideas?

Hm. Then I'll ask the support... and post the answer.

On the last page of the post on the Macrovision site: http://community.macrovision.com/showthread.php?t=175370&page=4&highlight=incomplete+installation there seem to be a solution though (the posts on the ZeroG site were made before 🙂

The workaround works. Just removing the directory an install an register software again fixes this problem.

The suggested action for that problem is simply to reregister the application.

As written in the other posts, got to $HOME/.InstallAnywhere, rename the
95/ directory to anything else and then

InstallAnywhere -register
