Thanks for your responses. I'm executing this in hummingbid's exceed. I've made sure all of the suggestions have been implemented/attempted but to no avail. BMC is indicated this is an install shield issue. This customer had the same issue called into BMC back in 2006 when installing slm 7.0 on this same environment. Unfortunately, the ticket did not have any details on what the fix was and none of the techs who worked on this issue are employed with BMC. Oscar Herrera

Be sure to set JAVA_HOME and BMC_SLM_JAVA_HOME in the terminal window and it should work a treat.

If that's the case, then find out the actual path by starting right from the root to the actual location where java is for which the starting attribute for the directory avoiding any symbolic links within that path. Most Remedy installs have a problem recognizing paths represented by symbolic links as valid directories or files..

What Java environment variables have you exported before the install is started?

I'm attempting to upgrade SLM 7.0 to 7.1 on AIX. No matter what we do the installer fails. At first glance the error message indicates the filesystem does not have enough space. We've thrown 10gigs at the /tmp filesystem for installation purposes but no luck. Thus, filesystem space is not the issue. We've changed the BMC_SLM_JAVA_HOME variable from java 1.4 version to the appropriate java 5 directory. We are using Humming Bird's Exceed as the installer interface. BTW...The installer was downloaded off BMC's website 9/30/08 with support watching me to make sure I got the correct one. BMC Support has been stumped on this one.
