Hi Alessandro,
Thanks for the info,.
I'm fully aware that I first need to install the 8.5.0.0 base before applying the fp :-)
What I was trying to point out was that the InstallAnywhere in FP10 runs fine, whereas the InstallAnywhere in the Base version does not, it claims not to not 'support' console or silent mode.
I suspect that this is because the Installanywhere used in the 8.5.0.0 base is a 32-bit version and I am missing some 32-bit rpms in my installation. The question is which (ncurses maybe) package(s).
OR the error message is 'bogus' i.e. something else is broken -- but the installer displays an incorrect error message??
From the install log:
XMLScriptReader: unable to parse the provided script file. File may have been invalid...

Unable to load the script.
Missing a 32-bit XML library could possibly/probably be the source of that error (I seriously doubt the XML file is corrupt since others have successfully installed the from it)
So as my system stands -- it's impossible to install 8.5.0.0 (and yes I have downloaded it more than once and the problem is consistent) or some prereq for InstallAnywhere 32-bit is missing.
Anyvbody have a list of prereqs for InstallAnywhere lying around??
