Re: [ADSM-L] SV: Best OS for a TSM server






Zoltan,

It has to do with the vpd.properties file (in C:\Windows). You'll have to
delete all lines in that file with regard to ISC or AC and then it will
install just fine, but only one faulty install will mess up all other
installation attempts, because this file is not cleaned when installation
fails.

Richard.

Only SIX attempts ?   It took me over 10 to finally get an install that
completed (on a W2K machine) !

Also, I got better results installing on a completely virgin machine (i.e.
bare Windoze just installed and patched - nothing more).
