548.0. "Prblms installing V1.5" by SWETSC::EKLUND (Cheer up, the worst is yet to come) Wed Jan 11 1995 11:15

    Hi,
    
    I have a customer who has problems installing on a 4700 
    running V6.1 of VMS.

After invoking Vmsinstal he gets:
    
%SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available
 \CONSOLE$ROOT:[DATA]\
%CREATE-E-DIRNOTCRE, CONSOLE$ROOT:[DATA] directory file not created
-SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available
%VMSINSTAL-E-INSFAIL, The installation of CONSOLE V1.5 has failed.


        VMSINSTAL procedure done at 19:51


He then defines CONSOLE$ROOT (to STA1:[CONSOLE.]) just to try and he now get's:


%VMSINSTAL-I-RESTORE, Restoring product save set B ...
%VMSINSTAL-E-BADSPEC, File spec  CONSOLE$CONFIG.PORT  cannot be parsed
%VMSINSTAL-E-INSFAIL, The installation of CONSOLE V1.5 has failed.

        VMSINSTAL procedure done at 19:56
                                                                                
    
    I know that defining CONSOLE$ROOT should not be done.

    Is there anybody who have seen something like this ?

What did the customer answer to the question:

Please specify the disk for Console Manager files?

The install uses the answer to this to build the logical names for the 
files to be accessed. This should be a disk volume or a logical name for
a disk volume.

Cheers Simon....

    Hi,
    
    You where on the right track, the problem was a redefinition of 
    lnm$file_dev on that system.
