IMC Upgrade 7.1 to 7.2 not working - Restart common update program with installer javahome

[Dornhoefer]

Hello, I am trying to upgrade our IMV installation from 7.1 via 7.2 to 7.3.
The installer always is stuck at the begnning of the installation process.
The components which are about to be upgraded are listed correctly, then the GUI disappears and CPU utilisation remains at about 70%. In the log folder C:\Windows\iMC-Reserved\log there are thounsands of log files created, several each second, containing messages like:

2019-11-07 14:05:09 [INFO ] [main] [com.h3c.imc.deploy.CommonComponentUpdateLauncher::checkEnv(165)] Find installer javahome: C:\iMC_PLAT_7.2_E0403_Basic\windows\install\.\common\jre_windows, which not equals to current javahome: C:\iMC_PLAT_7.2_E0403_Basic\windows\install\common\jre_windows. Restart common update program with installer javahome
2019-11-07 14:05:09 [INFO ] [main] [com.h3c.imc.deploy.CommonComponentUpdateLauncher::launchUpdater(312)] Launch common update program with: [C:\iMC_PLAT_7.2_E0403_Basic\windows\install\common\jre_windows\bin\javaw.exe, -Xmx256m, -Dinstaller.dir=C:\iMC_PLAT_7.2_E0403_Basic\windows\install\., -cp, C:\iMC_PLAT_7.2_E0403_Basic\windows\install\components\common\deploy\deploy.jar, com.h3c.imc.deploy.CommonComponentUpdateLauncher, autoStart]

So for me the reason seems to be the message "IMC Basic Edition Upgrade 7.1 to 7.2 not working - Restart common update program with installer java javahome". If I compare the path is once written with a "\.\" and once only with a backslash. I already tried to modify the install.bat and replaced the variable with the absolute java home path, but the problem remains. The first part of the installer works, presumably using Java, but then another routine is called.

Anyone had this problem? Thanks in advance!

Trying to upgrade from 7.3 (E0703) to (E0705) with dma.sh I got following error:

So I tried to upgrade by running ./install.sh script from within the install directory of E0705 version but then I got same error as mentioned in original post here which explains somehow that one should

go to the installation directory which contains install.sh script and being within this directory run command:

./common/jre_linux64/bin/java -Xmx256m -Dinstaller.dir=`pwd` -cp ./components/common/deploy/deploy.jar com.h3c.imc.deploy.CommonComponentUpdateLauncher autoStart

 pwd should be replaced by current directory which can be eg. /iMC_PLAT_7.3_E0705_Enterprise_Linux/linux/install/

I'm not sure if this is it but what is your path to  java within IMC installation?Mine for example is as per the below

<imcInstallationHD>Program Files\iMC\common\jre

is yours HD>Program Files\iMC\common\jre_windows ?

I'm wondering if installation expects jre_windows and yours is jre?

I had similar problem before where  I had problems with upgrading, in my case java containing directory was jkd, changing it to jre solved some issues. It's easy enough to try.

My issue was on linux and java path was within install directory of unzipped IMC package. Above mentioned command solved the problem. The problem also does not exist if upgrading from 0605 version.
