After selecting install components, get "not found" error
When installing ANY PROGRESS product, the customer MUST NOT be sitting
in the directory where they want to install the product. For example,
if they want to install PROGRESS in "/usr/progress", their "pwd" must
not show /usr/progress. They must be sitting in a temprary directory
such as "/temp".
The reason for this is that when the customer chooses to install the
product, the install script will first check to see if the directory
that the customer specified exists. If it does, the customer will be
propted to delete the directory. If the customer types "no" - not to
delete the directory, the install will end. If the customer chooses
to delete the directory, the install script will do an "rm -r" on the
directory and thus delete all the files in the directory. If the
customer was sitting in that directory when he did the "cpio" command,
the files read off the disk (which were put into that directory) are
deleted and the customer will receive errors about programs and files
not being found such as "./proinstall: ./protape not found".
To correct this, make sure the customer is not in the directory where
they want to install the product.
As of version 6.3 and higher of PROGRESS, the customer will NOT be
able to be in the directory where they want to install. The install
routine will give an error indicating that the installation directory
can not be the same as "pwd".
