Re: Software installation error

First untar the file using;

tar xvf xxxx.tar

It will extract files in the tar file. Most probably there will be a depot file or some scripts to create the depot. If there is a script to create the depot, execute it and then execute the following command;

swinstall -s absolute path of the depot.

Don't give up. Try till success...
