auto installer refuses?

[Eric Hout]

Hi,

After downloading the complete product and the autoinstaller, I cannot continue since when starting it, it immediately throws the following error message on screen.

ERROR: Syntax error in auto-installer's configuration file:
A closing quotation mark was not found.

Just did what the docs said, download the file, put it somewhere on disk and run it.
Also tried an older version, but this does the very same thing, even when running as root
system: RH EL4
file: parallels_installer_v3.4.1_build090204.18_os_RedHat_el4_x86_64



Anyone can shed some light on this?

weird

The above message cames when running as root. When running as certain user with specific psa groups, the message doesn't come at all? Nice when one wants to do a clean install.

Found...
Message was right ;-)
appearantly an older conf file existed.... lol.... didn't even know someone tried this before.

Do you happen to know the name of that config file?

Usually it is /root/.autoinstallerrc
