Here is my adventure with trying to install Freenet on Vista 64 bit (I'm new to this OS). It is a bit repetitive but better than nothing I imagine. Notes and such: Installing as an administrator. Idea: Progress indicator for both freenet-stable-latest.jar and freenet-ext.jar inside IzPack. They took quite some time to download this iteration and a new user may give up. If not a progress indicator, possibly an idea of how large the file is so the user knows it may be awhile. Failure same as reported to bugtracker... Registering .fref file extension "Online installation mode" Downloading update.cmd Downloading the Opennet seednode file Setting up plugins -JSTUN -UPnP -XMLLibrarian -KeyExplorer -ThawIndexBrowser Downloading freenet-stable-latest.jar Downloading freenet-ext.jar Detecting tcp port availability Setting fproxy port to 8888 Building wrapper.conf Copying install_service.bat Copying remove_service.bat Copying start.cmd Copying stop.cmd Installing the wrapper - Creating a user for freenet Removing old freenet user Creating new freenet user Setting password expiry Writing password to file temporarily to install service - Hiding the freenet user from the login screen - Tweaking the permissions of the freenet user - Changing file permissions - Registering Freenet as a system service Running wrapper on wrapper.conf Running wrapper again on wrapper.conf wrapper | Freenet 0.7 darknet-8888 installed. - Start the node up The Freenet 0.7 darknet-8888 service is starting. The Freenet 0.7 darknet-8888 service could not be started. A system error has occurred. System error 1067 has occurred. The process terminated unexpectedly. Starting browser All done, please click Next - ------------------------------------------------------------- Possible windows defender issue? Trying again with it disabled. - ------------------------------------------------------------- Strange, 2nd time it thinks I do not have java installed. To work around I ran java.exe from the command line and then immediately ran the installer. This only worked once and only once, see further down. Another thought: In addition to "Online installation mode", how about a mode for moving a pre-existing node to an new (virgin) windows OS. (creates new user, permission, etc, but moves existing configs and datastore) Pffft, failed again as above.... ahh, mklink java.exe c:\windows\system32\java.exe Ok, try again: 1. Install as administrator 2. after IzPack pack install finishes (13/13) drop to cmd as admin and add symbolic link in ./bin "mklink java.exe c:\windows\system32\java.exe" 3. Click next in installer. 4. Installer finished w/o errors, click next. 5. Oops, next window is empty, clicking next does nothing. 6. Click Quit. (No shortcuts/start menu items built for Freenet) 7. Freenet first time wizard starts 8. Work through installer, then I shut down node from main page. Try again: 1. Install as administrator 2. Installer does not see java as installed. 3. Run the java installer, New window on installer with options for shortcuts etc. (not seen in earlier tries, progress?) 4. Change default directory 5. Does not like my existing node, so much for seeing if I could upgrading in place. :) 6. Point to empty directory. 7. Fails to start system service as above, again. Try again: 1. Uninstall java(s) and now uninstall Freenet as it now had menus and such. This works! lol 2. Install as administrator 3. Install java. WTF? current user no longer sees java. Perhaps only for freenet? Continue install... 4. Install says it finished 5. First time installer starts 6. Finished and working had I any 'friends' yet. Spoke too soon, the java installed via the Freenet installer installs 32 bit java in %windir%\syswow64 as well as "Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin". Try yet again: 1. install 64 bit java 2. ln them (mklink java.exe ..\system32\java.exe) 3. Install freenet as administrator 4. Again, fails to see java..... 5. Ok, gonna try installing java from freenet installer, then remove this version of java after install. 6. fails to seee java, but wait, trying #2 again after install... 7. hmm, it tried to start, but says freenet script lost control of the service. 8. Reboot PC, service starts ok. Node is up. I can start/stop at will. Ok, seems toad has updated the installer and/or scripts. Continuing with newer version. - -------------------------------------------------------------------- - ---------------- 1. 64 bit java installed. 2. Running newer Freenet installer? Appears to be same...nope it's new, verified file size. 3. fails to see java 4. Install java via freenet installer (again this is the 32 bit version, not 64) 5. Freenet installs to completion. So, if you want both 32/64 bit versions of java this seems to work, but 64 bit by itself takes a bit more tweaking with symbolic links. Better way would be for the installer to see the existing 64 bit java me thinks. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Charset: UTF8 Note: This signature can be verified at https://www.hushtools.com/verify Version: Hush 3.0 wkYEARECAAYFAkoDaTAACgkQDAg0OvA3V4ARsQCfeCZp2ERE7XNPQX0sROCQTmGKCxsA oL6FlIQxDD2B3tF4vZmn3dCA03GY =bAF6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You can take it with you!
