Unattended installation in Linux fails

Classic Servoy
1

I am installing Servoy 5.01 in a Linux virtual server with no GUI capabilities, so I made an installation in Windows XP and generated an automatic installer : servoy_installer.xml .

I modified this file to point to Linux filesystem names (for instance : changing c:\Program Files\Servoy to /servoy). Was I right doing so ?

Finally I copied it to the Linux server and run :

[root@iplanvs Servoy5]# java -jar servoy501_installer.jar servoy_installermod1.xml
[ Starting automated installation ]
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0 >= 0

[ Automated installation FAILED! ]

Any idea ?

Perhaps you can post your xml file ?

I think I have seen this before, on Windows you have different options that do not apply to Linux. I’d recommend running an attended install on a Linux box (you can download linux images from various places that run on Windows) and using that XML.

Robert,

Perhaps you can post your xml file ?

I tried in my initial post but it was rejected because it is .xml; I am attaching now as .txt .

We will try what Jan suggests : the .xml contents seem to be “OS specific”.

Here is the .xml

servoy_installermod1.txt (6.97 KB)

Problem solved : we installed in a Linux with GUI, generated the servoy_installer.xml and copied it to the non-GUI Linux where the unattended installation performed well.

May be it can be can enhancement for the future : to be able to generate the servoy_installer.xml for an specific platform running in any platform and, even better, without having to perform a full installation.

Thanks to the forum, there is always an answer !
