installing V11.5 on linux 64 bit.
A user trying to install IDS 11.5 on 64-bit Fedora 10 hit the GUI installer error "could not load wizard specified in /wizard.inf (104)" and complained about the loss of a simple install script. Fernando Nunes suggested the cause is the OS-supplied Java not being a true/compatible Java, recommending installing Java from java.com or temporarily removing the existing java from PATH, and noted Fedora may not be a supported platform. Another poster just vented about Java-based installers. No confirmation from the original poster, so no verified resolution is recorded.

Hello All, i hate to say this but installing ids is getting worse and worse... am trying to install 11.5 on fedore 10 64 bits and it bombs with: The wizard cannot continue because of the following error: could not load wizard specified in /wizard.inf (104) GRMBLLLL there is nothing i can find about it and i probably need to install GRMBLL java. What happened to an easy script??? GRMBLLL again; how do you lot test this..... Superboer. i will end up debugging it.

I *think* it has to do with the fact that your OS has a java which is not exactly "Java". If you install the Java from java.com it will probably work... As a workaround you may want to temporarily remove your current "java" from your PATH. I believe the new installer goes with a compatible java... not 100% sure... latest installs just worked (for me) so it's been a while since I looked at it. Besides all this, not sure if Fedora is a supported OS. If it's not, that would explain why it went through the tests unnoticed... Not that you're too worried about this of course... At least I'm not when I install it in pretty old Fedora VMs :) Regards. -- Fernando Nunes Portugal http://informix-technology.blogspot.com My email works... but I don't check it frequently...

What happened to an easy script??? Fucking drives me mad. All this supposedly "idiot-proof" Java-shite-based scripting for installs. I had a Tech Support call open for a failed install recently: basically the answer is "Tough Shit" if for some reason the Java-shite based install script fails - there is no workaround or alternative. Still, I'm sure some focus group of 10 "randomly-selected" users, all of whom just happened to be Java programming friends of the Developers, said a Java-based install program was perfect!
