software installation question

[Achilles_2]

Hi all,

I got a software program which the format likes xxxxxx-hp.bin, I want to install it so that I use the following command "xxxxxx-hp.bin -i silent". Is that right?

Please give me a comment, thanks.

Hi,

I don't know if I understand your question.

If 'xxxxxx-hp.bin' is an executable program that you can run to install your program, and '-i silent' is an option that your program will accept, then that should work. You might have to do './xxxxxx-hp.bin -i silent' to execute it.

What program are you trying to install?

Alex,

I assume that xxxxxx-hp.bin, this is depot software but it should look like xxxxxx-hp.bin.depot file. I will give certain options:
Assume it as a SDUX software.
1. - # sh xxxxxx-hp.bin
2. - # ll xxxxxx-hp*
3. This will list xxxxxx-hp.bin.depot and xxxxxx-hp.bin.text file.
4. - # swinstall -s xxxxxx-hp.bin.depot
5. - Select the Package when displayed and start installing by selecting Action TAB and install option.


If you can get back with more info, it will be easier one.

Hope that helps.

I ran the command "sh setup_ORBacus4.1.2_HP-32.bin" under root user but it said that "execute permission denied". I checked that it has the permit to execute.

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys setup_ORBacus4.1.2_HP-32.bin

Alex,
i am not able to understand the type of file.
Well we now still have two options:
1. If it is already a depot file then
# swinstall -s

OR (if that doesn't work)

2. Assuming that it is tar file use:
# tar -xvf

Hope either of them helps you out.

If nothing works let us know this one :

# file xxxxxx-hp.bin

Post the output of this command

Just do a

#sh

This should start the installation.Files like weblogic insatller package come in this format.

Thanks

What application is that?

Whether the executable is downloaded for the right architecture and version.

Alex,
If it is a shared executable then as ssuggested by NAVEEJ it should work. And if it doesn't work that way then either your file is corrupted or not compatabile with this platform.
If you are sure about the corect version and comptability of the file try downloading it again.

All the best.
