LCDS 2.5 Install Error

[Scaringi-gqxXAh]

Hello All,



When I try to install the LCDS 2.5 distribution on a SuSE 9.3
workstation, I get the following error message:

quote:

---

$ ./lcds25-lin.bin

Preparing to install...

Extracting the JRE from the installer archive...

archive...

this application cannot proceed. (LAX)

Has anyone else seen this? Are there any work arounds? Is
SuSE 9.3 supported?



Thanks for any help,

Are you still seeing this exception? If so, try the following
command to install LCDS:



./lcds25-lin.bin -i console

LaunchAnywhere is a bit of a misnomer....



Thanks again,

Hello All,



OK, I figured this out. If you remove all the "\u"s in all of
your prompts (PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4), then LaunchAnywhere doesn't
error out.



The LCDS team may want to look at using a different
installer, or a newer/better version of LaunchAnywhere.



Thanks,

-Stephen
