The c: drive for both servers was over 10GB in size and had 80% of that free before the installation, so I think I'm good. I did cleanup vpd.properties and all the files in TEMP and in Program Files after each install. I am goning to try again on another system. The fact that it stopped with the same symptoms on both servers points to a packaging problem I think. I'll redownload the files...

A couple of things to check: - Free space on the installation path (pref. 1-2 GB free space) - Free space on the drive where TEMP is located (pref. 1-2 GB free space) - After a failed installation don't forget to clear C:\Windows\vpd.properties with all entries to ISC - Verify that the downloaded file is the correct size I've had ISC and AC fail on installation a couple of times, restarted, restarted, restarted and hey it installed. Btw, you cannot install AC without ISC (it's is a plugin for ISC). Don't forget for AC to change the installation path (ISC installs in <drive>:\Program Files\IBM\ISC601 by default and AC 5.3.x will install into <drive>:\Program Files\IBM\ISC by default, so change either on of them to reflect the other).

I tried 3 times on a VMWare image with a fresh install of Win2K3. The image had 1024 Mbytres of RAM allocated. The 3 times the install stoped at 93%. The last entries in ISCRuntimeInstall.log are : (Sep 7, 2006 4:06:51 PM), Setup.product.install, com.ibm.isc.install.ismp.FailAndExitAction, wrn, ISCArchiveFixupFail_Exit (Sep 7, 2006 4:06:51 PM), Setup.product.install, com.ibm.isc.install.ismp.FailAndExitAction, wrn, (Sep 7, 2006 4:06:51 PM), Setup.product.install, com.ibm.isc.install.ismp.FailAndExitAction, msg2, status=FAILED,timestamp=Thu Sep 07 16:06:51 EDT 2006,progress=(unchanged) I then tried on another server, non-VMWare with 2 GB of ram with the same result. This is version 6.0.1 of ISC. The package name is TSM 6.0.1 Integrated Solutions Console 2005-10-19 C86PQML.exe, downloaded form Passport site. As the readme says, ISC must be installed before AC, but I read somewhere that you can install AC without ISC. Is this the case? Any help is appreciated Guillaume Gilbert Storage Architect Storage Group, Sun Microsystems [EMAIL PROTECTED] 514.866.8876 Office 514.290.6526 Cell
