Hello,

I'm trying to run InstallShield Wizard on a HP-UX 11.11 + Java 1.4 and getting the following error on screen:

Errors occurred during the installation.
- null

InstallShield log shows:

Does anyone have any ideia on what can be wrong? I tried to use Java 1.3 with with the exactly same result.

Thank you,

This looks like a VPD error!
Are you running this using the General Unix installers?

If so the VPD gets written to:

/usr/lib/InstallShield/Universal/common

Check to make sure you have permissions to write to the location!

Otherwise - be sure you have permissions to write to the $HOME directory!

Regards,
Tom

I have found that these type of errors go away if you delete the 'InstallShield' directory - at the root level I think for HPUX 11.11.
