Installation Problem - Doesn't Get Past "Verifying Installation Media"

[Former Community Member]

Using VMWare, I've segmented our working 7.0 LiveCycle server with another instance of Windows Server, etc., and I'm trying to install the LiveCycle ES Pre-Release to that new image. I've installed jdk1.5.0_11, and after running "win_livecycle8_setup.exe" per the instructions, the installation routine displays "Verifying Installation Media" ~ now running for 18 hours. In the Task Manager, "win_livecycle8_setup.exe" is running and doing something, but it won't continue with the install. Ideas?



Thanks for your help in advance!

You need 2 Gigs or RAM and and 2 Gigs of hard drive space.

We added additional memory, and VM is now has at a full 2 Gigs of memory and plenty of hard disk space; however, "Verifying Installation Media" still presents itself, and we get no further with the installation.



We were told from other sources that there was initially a problem with the installation program with the March pre-release. Can you direct me to the most up-to-date version? Thanks!

It is posted now on the pre-release website (http://prerelease.adobe.com) and should also be posted on the developer web site in the new few weeks.

After talking with tech support, you need to retain the root directory (in my case, "8.0.3190.1.380442.16_JBoss_EFGJ_DVD") when you extract the installation software. I had re-labeled this to "LiveCycle ES Install" so that we knew what it was in our network folder, but the installation software didn't like it. After renaming it back to "8.0.3190.1.380442.16_JBoss_EFGJ_DVD", the software installed successfully.
