3896.0. "MCC EMS V2 Install fails....." by KERNEL::DAVIES () Tue Oct 13 1992 14:12

	Hi All,

	
	I have a customer who is trying to install MCC EMS V2.0 on a system
	which fails.  

	It appears that the install fails to create the NMCCKERNEL account
	but continues, only to fall over when later trying to install the 
	product as the account isn't there.

	If you create the NMCCKERNEL account manually and then try the 
	install it gets further but falls over when trying to parse the 
	image NMCCKERNEL.EXE.


	Thanks in advance,

	Phil Davies.  UK Comms TSC.
	

	PS:  I have included a log file of the install below:

First a version clarification:
	V2.1 EMS contains DECmcc BMS v1.1, NMCC/DECNET MONITOR V2.3 and
		a number of other kits.  
	However, this kit is being replaced this month with V2.3 of EMS and
		it no longer contains NMCC/DECNET MONITOR which is in the
		process of being retired.

Your error:
	I suspect the error is due to a known bug in the Decnet Monitor
	part of the install.  Please be sure all the prerequisite software
	is installed.  I've seen this error when GKS for example is mssing
	from the system.

Pls send me mail if you need further assistance.
