1894.0. "V3.0 install fails - OA$FORMATTER.EXE RMS-F-FNF" by NWGEDU::MACKNEY () Thu Dec 03 1992 16:28

    I am installing ALL-IN-1 V3.0. After about 3 hours the install reports:
    
    %A1-I-A1LINKED, Finished linking images
    %SET-F-SEARCHFAIL, error searching for DUA0:[SYS0.SYSUPD.A1030]OA$FORMATTER
    .EXE;
    -RMS-F-FNF, file not found          
    
    This is a new installation of ALL-IN-1. (The error occurs with both the
    US and the DUCTCH base instalation kits). I would expect this file to be
    put there by the installation!            
    
    Any clues (it is a very long test procedure 3 hours at a time)

    This isn't going to sound very helpful...
    
    Presumably the link of the formatter image has failed in some way, and
    hence there wasn't an image for the installation code to provide.
    
    Was there some sort of error message earlier on in the installation
    log? Don't post the whole log here, but if there's anything odd looking
    after it says it's linking the images then let us see it.
    
    The fact that it fails in both kits suggests there's something missing
    on your system, most likely bet is the symbiont shareable. Is the
    famous SMBSRVSHR logical defined? (Look hard, in every logical table
    you can think of!)
    
    Also what VMS version is this, is it an upgrade?

1894.2Check DECwindows not tailored outAIMTEC::WICKS_ASoon: warm beer, football, rainThu Dec 03 1992 18:328
    Another thing to check...
    
    CDA support was chosen in the install but DECwindows has been tailored 
    out so the formatter link can't get to img$shrlib or cda$access.

1894.3Trying Option KKERNEL::SMITHERSJLiving on the culinary edge....Mon Dec 07 1992 09:5811
    If you choose option K at the VMSINSTAL option, then this gives
    you some idea of what file it is trying to access when it bombs 
    out.
    
    Hope this helps.  I had a similar problem when trying to install
    v.3 and it kept accvioing when linking the ALL-IN-1 image.  Option
    K allowed me to see it was trying to access VAXCRTL.EXE on each 
    occasion when it access violated.  After replacing the image, the
    installation went through OK.
