There was/is a bug with VMSINSTAL's Run_Image callback on 8.2 machines that exhibited the following symptoms at product installation time: -
* Do you want to purge files replaced by this installation [YES]? %ANALYZE-E-OPENIN, error opening MISSING:[MISSING]VMI$NEW.EXE; as input -SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available %VMSINSTAL-E-INSFAIL, The installation of TIER3A V3.1 has failed.
The problem is that I've just had someone upgrading to 8.2 (Why not 8.3? I dunno :-) and the bug appears to still be there :-(
VMS 8.2 is still supported, is it not? Has anyone got a patch reference:
Below is from one of COVs kind souls many moons ago stating that this bug is *supposed* to have been fixed.
Any ideas?
