I have a strange installation problem.
On a laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64 bits, no problem.
On a desktop with Windows 7 Pro 32 bits, problems.
Ok so, I download the latest Ignition 7.2.3 (same happened with version 7.2.2 at least). Launch the install, click agree, it goes and do its bit, then it stays stuck at like 95%, it’s written ‘Installing Ignition’, green bar is at around 95% but nothing will ever happen.
Now If I launch a second time the installation (so 2 installations running at the same time). It asks me for upgrading the 1st one, I say yes. The 2nd one will finish installing.
Launching a browser, I get access to Ignition. All fine.
If I reboot. It’s all gone, launching the browser doesn’t work. I have to re-install using the double installation trick. In Start/Programs/Inductive Automation, there’s nothing there.
I’ll double check tomorrow when back in the office to be sure but I’m pretty sure I’m using the 32 bit, in fact I installed the 32 bit version on the 64 bit system.
A) Right click on the installer and select “Run as administrator”.
B) Instead of using the installer, download the zip file version of Ignition. Extract it to a folder somewhere and try running the “install-ignition” batch file from the command line. If it fails, what error does it give you? If it succeeds, try starting the server by calling “start-ignition” batch file.
Make sure that Java 6 is installed, and that it is installed correctly. From the command line, try running:
“>java -version”
If it’s the wrong version or you get a message stating that “java” is not a valid command, try installing the JRE from java.com first.
