swinstall problem

[Babak Haghtalab]

I ma trying to install SGeRAC from HPU UX 11.23 application DVD. When I run swinstall and try to browse the CD it hangs and give me the message "Reading the software source" at the bottom of the page. I even don't have a chance to enter my codeword. I tried it through command line and commands option but it didn't work.I have attached the screenshot.
Does anybody know the resulotion . HP ux 11.23 on PA-RISC.

I suggest using swinstall -i to enter the code word and then trying the install.

Dear friends
thanks for your reply, but i use the command line command :
mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom
swinstall -s /cdrom/t... -x codeword=...
-x customer_ID=....
Unfortunately it didn't work again. I guess there should be some OS patches that made this problem,
what do you think, I am going to install a clean os and test the procedure before applying patches. will let you know what will happen

[Babak Haghtalab]

Yeap!!!!!!!!
I check it on the clean system and it worked. Now I have to see which patch has made this problem for me . big headache :-((
