Re: [Condor-users] Can't install condor on my laptop

[Ahmed Hussain <ahussain03@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ben,

Thank you for your reply.

When I tried to run this command (msiexec /l*vx c721.log /i condor-7.2.1-winnt50-x86.msi), I get the following error message:

"Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable."

I copied the .msi file in a directory and then ran the above command from the DOS prompt.

Ahmed

Hi Ahmed:

I've been battling this over the last few days and here
are the things I've discovered that can or may help (you
may not need to do all of them, and the order you do them
in, as far as I can tell, does not matter):

1) If it exists, move the original Condor directory out
   of the way.

2) Using the Task Manager, list all user process and kill
   any stray msiexec.exe process.

3) Move the installer into a directory with no spaces in
   it.

4) Remove any of the
   "MAKEMSI_VBSCA-Condor for Windows(7.2.2)-*.log"
   Files from root of the system drive.

But, before you do any of that, could you send me the
result of re-running the installation (which will still
fail) but keep a detailed log of the installation?

Here is the command:

  msiexec /l*vx c721.log /i condor-7.2.1-winnt50-x86.msi

Thanks,
-B

When I use the install wizard to install condor and start condor services,
condor_master is not able to run and I get a message saying "Service
'Condor' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to
start system services."

Any help?

regards,
Ahmed

(Please ignore my previous email as it got sent by mistake before I had
completed it)

Hi,

I am trying to install condor on my laptop (running Vista) to join a pool
whose central manager is my office desktop PC. (I am logged-in as an admin).

But I am trying to install it from my home with a broadband connection.

The installation is failing. It comes back with an error message "System
error 5 has occured", "Access is denied".

Please tell me if I missed something.

regards,
Ahmed
