[Ani-users] Partial success

[Alex G. <al...@vi...>]

Hi,

some status report on what i've done last week.

- wrote some analysis of the jobs Ani.pm does in order to understand
  what's going wrong, i can put that readme online if anybody is
  interested
- after the interrupted transfers from the smb share i switched from
  cp to tar (in Ani.pm) for copying the files over. I receive no errors from
  copying anymore. Tradeoff: no update available anymore because tar
  simply doesn't care about that, my suggestion would be to use rsync
  or another cp version, but i still have to find out if that changes
  something (the userland is taken from SuSE, 7.1, right?)
- the linux part of the installation finishes just fine
- the winnt.exe installer starts in unattended mode and installs the
  OS just fine
- after some trouble with postwin.pl (coworker accidentially copied
  perl-5.8.6 to ActiveP.msi instead of 5.6.1), postwin.pl now executes
- postwin.pl bails out with this error message:

register script [cleanup.bat] to delete install folders:cannot open registry: at line 310.
register script [cleanup.bat] to delete install folders:cannot open registry: at line 310.

window text:                                                                    
>> sub regStartup() failed. at C:\install\pwframe.pl line 137.

Haven't yet looked at the postwin part, maybe somebody encountered
that error before and can tell me what i can do to avoid that one.

cheers, alex
