Re: ARS 7.5 Patches for a new install
UPDATE: After patching from 3 to 4 the plugin server still failed to load the Server Information console. I was getting many authentication errors when the form would open. Since we are building a server group I put this box on hold and started to build the next one. I used patch 1 as a base since I have had good results with that. From there I patch to 3 which I have also had good results going from 1 to 3. Then finally patch 4. This appears to be working great so far. It is possible that I messed up the Application Service Password at one point so I am not completely sure it is the installer's fault. On the prior attempts I had been copying and pasting the password from our keystore. Since you cannot see the value I cannot verify that it was correct from the clipboard (although I have done it many times in the past with no problem). On the last attempt I shortened the password and manually typed it in. On a side note, the Host ID still changes on Server 2008 after a reboot. I thought I had read that was fixed in one of the last patches. I did check that the MAC is not changing since it is VM.

Re: ARS 7.5 Patches for a new install
Since you're running the installer in a 32-bit JVM, you need to make sure you have the 32-bit X11 libraries installed on the system. That may take care of your first item below.
