Trying to install ISMP 11.5 on Linux FAILS

[rmackay]

Hello,

I am trying to install ISMP 11.5 on Linux via a terminal window. I am trying to execute the following script (as instructed on the CD):

InstallShieldMultiPlatform_Linux.sh

When I run this I get the following output:

--------

Launching InstallShield Wizard........
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: run

--------

This is a most excellent user experience when trying to simply install the software. (sarcasm intended).

Can someone tell me how to properly get this software installed on a Linux system?

Has anyone else even tried to install ISMP 11.5 on Linux?

Do you have java on the system? You will need a jvm of 1.4.2 or higher.

If you do have it - make sure it is not a Link! The java exe has to be in the directory where the lib directory is located under it:

../bin/java
../lib

At least I believe this is the problem! I know when running installers created with MP you have the same issues! At least I was!

Tom

I dont think that this is the problem. The installer extracts and installs it own JVM if it doesn't find one.

Did you try copy the script locally, and run it (not from CD).

yes that is what I was initially trying. Then after mounting the CD drive on a linux system it got further along but crashed with a bunch of NULL values defined for the product name and features.
