SIM6 installation problems

I'm trying to install on a newly built Windows 2003 SP2 VM with 4 GB of RAM and loads of disk space. All of the components install up to the point where HP SIM itself needs to install. At that point it fails and I see an error in the event log: AdminTest service terminated with service-specific error 123456.

c:\hpsim.log contains the following:

Re: SIM6 installation problems

I have exactly the same problem on a physical server (Windows 2003 Std R2 x64 SP2) with a remote SQL 2005 Sp2 instance. I read some other forum entries regarding potential issues with the service account password but even changing it to a simple word still gives the same error.

The last section of the installation log:

Re: SIM6 installation problems

Hello.

I have quite the same issue. The server is a W2003 R2 SP2 vm (ESX 4.0) with SQL 2005 Sp3.
When HPSIM starts installing, it fails and HPSIM.LOG file contains the following :

Can someone help us solving this issue ?

Re: SIM6 installation problems

Hello.
Using Procmon.exe, I see the thread setup.exe exits immediately after the following events :

- RegOpenKey HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\GRE_Initialize
- RegQueryValue HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\GRE_Initialize\DisableMetaFiles (reply : name not found)
- RegCloseKey HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\GRE_Initialize

If someone from HP could reply, I need this server to be installed this week. I wil ltry to open a case with HP also.

Re: SIM6 installation problems

I had the same issue too, but I hadn't read the instructions properly, and was still on Internet Explorer 6. Once I upgraded to Internet Explorer 8, all worked fine.
Hopefully, this will be it for you!

Re: SIM6 installation problems

I ran into the same issue and the resolution (for me) was to change the default of using DEP for all programs to using DEP for just Windows programs.

Re: SIM6 installation problems

A number of the logfiles here have:
Please refer to the C:\hpsim.log and \logs\initconfig.logfiles for details

Is there anything in that?
Just a guess but have the database pre-requisites been done, especially if you're using an external dataabse you need to ensure the account has full access.

Re: SIM6 installation problems

We had the same problem.
Using DEP for just Windows programs solved the problem.

Re: SIM6 installation problems

Hello.
My problem is solved.
Windows update was showing messages about installing the latest patches for several days.
The CMS is hosted in a datacentre and patches are applied by the datacentre management team (third party). However this server is not currently in production so I decided to apply the patches and reboot.

After the reboot, the installation worked perfectly. I mention that I rebooted the server several times before but without installing the patches. So the reboot is not what solved my problem.

Regards.
