swinstall failure

[tlh1005]

Hello,
I'm trying to install SDK 5 to an alternate location. This is my command line:

/usr/sbin/swinstall -x run_as_superuser=false -x reinstall=true -s /thirdparty/sdk5.0.02/jdk.depot \* @/thirdparty/sdk5.0.02

I am getting the following error:
-------------
ERROR: Could not apply the software selection "Jdk15" because a
different variant of a dependency for this product has already
been selected.
* Software selection failed for
"itanic:/thirdparty/sdk5.0.02/jdk.depot".
ERROR: Could not apply the software selection "Jre15" because a
different variant of this same product has already been
selected.
* Software selection failed for
"itanic:/thirdparty/sdk5.0.02/jdk.depot".
---------------




I've only been able to find one related post int he forums and none of the suggestions found within worked. Could someone offer a suggestion as to why this isn't installing for me? The help would be greatly appreciated!
Below is the swlog:

Shalom,

I ran some tests for exactly the same thing and got hte same results.

Perhaps try it as root

Well I was initially getting errors not as root but when I began runnning with

-x run_as_superuser=false

I got past the permissions issue. I've yet to install java5 but on a different box using previously releases I've been able to do this fine as root and as non-root.

Thanks,
Troy

I've found no help on this one thus far. There was one similar post here in the past but it didn't seem to get resolved and there were a few different explanations given for why this failure would happen. Any further or more relevant insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

you can try:

- remove previous version(s)
- install new version under alternative path
- (A) if unsuccesful, install under original path
- install previous version(s) again
- if(A) use alternative path
