Can't install software - file(s) not found

Paul Beaudoin — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 05:32:39 GMT

Folks,
Another weird problem. Neither unzip nor unzipsfx is able to find existing files (some resulting questions at the end):

This is all run from a fully priveleged account - all privs on, VMS 8.2.

Asside from the obvious, where does the PCSI compress kit get unzipsfx - is it included in the kit? If so that makes this even weirder..

I can't help but get the feeling I am missing the obvious here - can someone give me the appropriate slap on the head?

Many thanks

Paul

Paul,

the .SFX_AXPEXE files are self-expanding images.

Try the well-known but undocumented utility $ SET WATCH FILE/CLASS=MAJOR

Turn off with /CLASS=NOMAJOR

Volker,

Thanks, I'll try that tonight and report back.

Re: Can't install software - file(s) not found

Steven Schweda — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 09:09:25 GMT

It's not obvious to me.

A self-expanding Zip archive comprises a
special UnZip executable and a normal Zip
archive. If you run it, the built-in UnZip
executable does the work. You can also use
your own UnZip program, and (possibly after a
warning about some junk at the beginning of
the archive) that should work, too. Note
that HP now seems to be using UnZip version
5,52, while you seem to be stuck back at 5.50
(which is not so good as 5.52).

http://www.info-zip.org/

Around here:

ALP2 $ show system /noprocess
OpenVMS V8.2 on node ALP2 15-AUG-2006 08:50:19.88 Uptime 0 00:06:49

ALP2 $ run CSWB-OPENVMS-ALPHA-V1713.SFX_AXPEXE
UnZipSFX 5.52 of 28 February 2005, by Info-ZIP (http://www.info-zip.org).

This self-extracting archive file contains PCSI kits for:

- Secure Web Browser (CSWB)
- GTK+
- OpenVMS Porting Library (OPL)

Once the PCSI files are extracted, use the PRODUCT INSTALL command to
install CSWB. If you don't already have the required versions of
GTK+ and OPL installed, they will be automatically installed too.

inflating: cpq-axpvms-cswb-v0107-13-1.pcsi$compressed
[...]

Did you do something terrible to your kit
file (like, say, an ASCII FTP transfer)?

The (not-so-useful) "cannot open zipfile
[...](access denied?)" message should be the
result of a failure from sys$open(). Sadly,
the (old, not-my) UnZip code has no provision
to let you see the real error status there.

Perhaps a DIRE /FULL on one of your Zip
archives would be informative. Around here:

ALP2 $ dire /full CSWB-OPENVMS-ALPHA-V1713.SFX_AXPEXE

Can you copy the file to a different disk,
and does that matter at all? (It shouldn't,
of course, but I don't have any DSxx devices
here, so what do I know?)

My first guess from the above is that you do not have write permission to the DSA1:[KITS] directory.

What happens if you run the image with your default directory set to a location that you can create files?

Steven Schweda — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 17:10:56 GMT

> [...] you do not have write permission to

Shouldn't be needed. The files in that kit
should get unpacked into the user's current
default directory. The archive file should
be opened read-only, and there should be no
need to write to the kit's directory.

For example, with no permission at all:

alp $ unzip -t ALP$DKA0:[CSWB.V1R7S13]CSWB-OPENVMS-ALPHA-V1713.SFX_AXPEXE
unzip: cannot find either ALP$DKA0:[CSWB.V1R7S13]CSWB-OPENVMS-ALPHA-V1713.SFX_AXPEXE or
ALP$DKA0:[CSWB.V1R7S13]CSWB-OPENVMS-ALPHA-V1713.SFX_AXPEXE;1.zip.

(I believe that there's a fix in progress for
the ";1.zip" file name complaint, by the
way.)

alp $ set process /privilege = readall

alp $ unzip -t ALP$DKA0:[CSWB.V1R7S13]CSWB-OPENVMS-ALPHA-V1713.SFX_AXPEXE
Archive: ALP$DKA0:[CSWB.V1R7S13]CSWB-OPENVMS-ALPHA-V1713.SFX_AXPEXE;1

This self-extracting archive file contains PCSI kits for:

- Secure Web Browser (CSWB)
- GTK+
- OpenVMS Porting Library (OPL)
[...]

Running the self-extracting executable works,
too

The most informative thing to do might be to
get hold of the UnZip source, dive into
[.VMS]VMS.C, and persuade it to print out the
result of the sys$open() in the
check_format() function.

The latest UnZip 6.00c BETA is not likely to
be any better here, either.

Note that there were some problems with older
Zip versions when the user's default
directory was read-only (as on a CD-ROM, for
example), because the program tried to create
the temporary archive file in the default
directory instead of the archive destination
directory. But that's Zip, not UnZip, it's
been fixed already, and it's not this
problem.

Re: Can't install software - file(s) not found

Steven Schweda — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 17:17:29 GMT

And running the stuff where write permission
is lacking for the extracted files looks
different. For example:

alp $ run CSWB-OPENVMS-ALPHA-V1713.SFX_AXPEXE
UnZipSFX 5.52 of 28 February 2005, by Info-ZIP (http://www.info-zip.org).

This self-extracting archive file contains PCSI kits for:

- Secure Web Browser (CSWB)
- GTK+
- OpenVMS Porting Library (OPL)

Once the PCSI files are extracted, use the PRODUCT INSTALL command to
install CSWB. If you don't already have the required versions of
GTK+ and OPL installed, they will be automatically installed too.

[ Create file QIO failed. ]
[ %SYSTEM-F-NOPRIV, insufficient privilege or object protection violation ]
[...]

This is a problem on the output side, not on
the input side.

Paul Beaudoin — Wed, 16 Aug 2006 03:23:43 GMT

Thank you all for the responses. Permissions, one way of the other should not be a problem as I ran this fully priveleged. I have the output from SET WATCH and it seems to get weirder....
(Sorry for the length this is growing to)

I notice it is different from an example posted earlier so checked some others that (used to) work and they match. I transfer these up from the PC using TYPE IMAGE. On advice from elswhere, I reset the file attributes to the above with no better results. This is one that worked and what the file in question was set to originally:
Note that I also tried this operation on some files that worked very recently (about a week ago) and they also now don't work.

Also worth noting: This all worked a week ago. This is a fairly fresh install of 8.2 and used unzip and compressed PCSI kits extensively through the upgrade- there were no problem (at least in this area ;-)). No changes to the system I am aware of since I last unziped and reinstalled MMOV.

I'm stumped - but then it doesn't take a lot to stump me these days ...

Thanks for any hints

That part's ok.

That advice applied to an actual .PCSI file,
not to a Zip SFX archive.

It's what worked on a .PXSI file, not on a
Zip SFX archive.

So, first, I'd put it back to fixed-512,
which is normally what comes from a binary
FTP transfer, but I also wouldn't expect that
to make any difference.

On a whim from my subconscious, try this:

show logical decc$*

And if you see anything other than
DECC$CRTLMAP and DECC$SHR, then get rid of
it/them ("deassign DECC$whatever"), and try
it all again.

Gents,

Small but useful update: It has been suggested (an should have been obvious earlier, at lesast to me) that the disks in question ( I have tried this from 2 disks so far) could bennefit from ANALYSE/DISK/REPAIR. As noted: this is a fairly new installation and I haven't done this yet. I will now stand in the corner for at least 15 min for forgetting this usual part of the upgrade.

Regards

Paul

Good luck, but it seems unlikely to me.

Unless you have some odd-ball DECC$* feature
logical names defined, I can't think of a
good reason for UnZip to display the file
name in a UNIX format. If I dummy up a file
with VFC records, which should produce a very
similar error message (see [.VMS]VMS.C), I
get the expected message with the file name
in VMS format:

alp $ set file /attr = (rfm:vfc) vfc.zip
alp $ unzip -t vfc.zip

Error: zipfile is in variable-length record format. Please
run "bilf l ALP$DKA0:[SMS]VFC.ZIP;1" to convert the zipfile to stream-LF
record format. (BILF is available at various VMS archives.)

You really tried "show logical DECC$*"?

Steven,

Not yet - that is next when I get the chance tonight. I missed the significance of it reporting in unix format. Now that I think of it, I was trying to sinstall CIFS and there was something in the instructions relating to this - I'll go back and find them again to see what I set. If this is indeed the problem, I wonder if I will have a 'permanent' problem when I get CIFS to work and it needs settings incompatible with other items. ANother problem for another day ...

Thanks

Paul

Well, ok. The UNIX format name seems to be
an artifact of the SFX code. Sigh, Never
mind.

Gents,

Yes - the interpretation of the exit codes needed some education - thanks for the info.
It is starting to look more like the DECC logicals may be the underlying issue. I'll test tonight and report back. Many thanks for all the input

When the problem turns out to be some awful
combination of DECC$feature logical names,
I'd suggest reading the caution in the C RTL
manual regarding these things:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/82FINAL/5763/5763pro_003.html#index_x_88

Note also that UnZip provides an example of
how to enable these RTL features _within_ an
application, obviating the setting of any
DECC$feature logical names in any context
where they could confuse some other hapless
application. (See decc_init() in [.VMS]VMS.C.)

Gents,

Problem solved. Points (virtual beers) all around. It was the DECC logicals that were set up partly by instruction in the CIFS Install manual and partly by the installation iteslf. I had no idea these logicals were quite so pervasive. Steven - thanks for the original hint in that direction and the link to the warning and Volker for the demo. All the rest - thanks for the education.

Regards

Paul

Paul,

could you please explicitly list the DECC$ logicals, which were involved in this problem.

Thanks,

Volker.

Re: Can't install software - file(s) not found

Paul Beaudoin — Thu, 17 Aug 2006 03:32:18 GMT

Volker,

I'll try - There were about 6 and I removed them 1 at a time. If they remain on the screen (at home) I'll paste them into a message and post it here.

To re-create, Install CIFS. As I will be revisiting this in near future, the problem will re-create and at worst, I'll grab the list then. Sorry - should have anticipated that one.

Paul
