Status: Verified
SYMPTOM(s):
Installation of an OpenEdge Service Pack fails
Service Pack archive extracted to it's own directory
Starting setup.exe for Service Pack
GetLastError
The system cannot find the path specified.
(.\[[install-dir]]\progress.cfg)
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.0x
OpenEdge 10.1x
All Supported Operating Systems
CAUSE:
The exact cause is unknown at the time of this writing
The immediate cause for this issue was found to be incorrect path references in the installd.ini, but it remains unclear why these path references were not correct.
FIX:
Manually update installd.ini to refer to the correct directories.
Example:
[State Info]
targetDir=D:\101C\DLC
workDir=D:\101C\WRK
archiveDir=j:\OpenEdge 10.1C Win32
...
Where:
targetDir must be the installation directory where the OpenEdge release resides for the SP to be installed against
workDir should be the default working directory for the OpenEdge installation
archiveDir must be the path where the OpenEdge installation media are located (eg where the SP was decompressed to)
