Re: [xwiki-users] Feedback regarding the XWiki Enterprise 3.5 and 4.0-RC-1 Windows EXE Installer on Windows 7

18 Apr 2012

As Marius said, we are using an old version of Izpack, which might cause
troubles.
I tried to reproduce your issue but without success. I tested on a Windows
7 32 bit version and I was able to install XWiki 3.5 and XWiki 4.0 RC1
(using EXE files) as Admin and simple user (which required admin password).
I got no issues with the Next button as you described on neither one of
them. My installer also created the proper shortcuts on the desktop and
start menu. Uninstall worked fine.

Check the following:
* that you have Java 6 JVM installed on your machine
* left click on the EXE file and click proprieties. On the first tab
(General) click on "Unblock"
* lower your UAC (User Account Control) settings because Windows might see
XWiki as a potential threat and deny some rights XWiki needs to properly
start (like writing logs in the instalation directory which is by default
in Program Files, etc)

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Sorin B.

  The Windows installer is using an older version of
http://izpack.org/
 which probably doesn't work too well with newer versions of Windows.
 We talked about upgrading to the latest version of http://izpack.org/
 but we didn't have the time to do it. If you or anyone else if willing
 to do this it would be great.

 Thanks,
 Marius

  Hi,

 I would like to provide feedback regarding the Wiki Enterprise 3.5 and
 4.0-RC-1 Windows EXE Installer.

 I used the Wiki Enterprise 3.5 Windows EXE Installer on Windows 7 in
 English. After the install screen, the NEXT button is frozen. I am
 able to click on the PREVIOUS button, and that appears to re-install.
 Before going through all the steps, with the PREVIOUS button leading
 to re-installing, and NEXT not working, I have to click QUIT. The
 software however is installed correctly.

 When I try and investigate what's happening, I try >java -jar
 xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-3.5.exe, I encounter an exception
 with the inactive NEXT button.

 I have tried using the installer for 4.0-RC-1 and encounter the same  problem.

 java -jar
xwiki-enterprise-installer-windows-3.5.exe  could not create shortcut instance
