vcant Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 ok, my first results on win2k3:success !!!!!well, almost, symantec corporate didnt install right, i will play with the switches for it, i have it in MSI file and not in the regular symantec packager, and i applied regular msi switches, but it didnt work, well, im sure ill be able to fix it.all the rest worked great except for a fact that it took like 7 hours to install on Virtual PC, is that normal? i installed redhat at work on virtual pc, and it took hours as well, is VMWare faster by any chance?
vcant Posted July 27, 2003 Author Posted July 27, 2003 problem:when trying to install symantec corporate from msi file, even if not using any switches im getting the following error message: "The InstallScript engine is missing from this mashine. If available please run ISScript.msi or contact your support personal for futher assistance". any ideas why im getting this message?
Aaron Posted July 27, 2003 Posted July 27, 2003 I had no problems installing SAV 8.1, it might be that there are different compiled client installs made by the Symantec Packager. VirtualPC shouldn't take 7 hours. On this 1.4GHz it takes about an hour and a half, try going into the Virtual PC preferences and set this: Divide Time equally, and Run at Maximum speed.
ViRuS2k Posted July 29, 2003 Posted July 29, 2003 where can i get this program from AaronXP ? and does it need registered to use.im sick of switching from my main os onto a os on another partition to test installs and how big is the file and what is the best.it takes me about 30minutes to install xp on my 2200Xp thoroughbred overclocked.
Aaron Posted July 29, 2003 Posted July 29, 2003 Virtual PC?http://www.connectix.comI think they do a 30-day trial, should give you plenty of time to test your CD/ISO
ViRuS2k Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 thx mate.i hope its easy to use hehe.do you know if there are any drawbacks.like things not installing that should normaly ect ?what exactly happens does it install the os for real or just simulate it >
Aaron Posted July 30, 2003 Posted July 30, 2003 it installs the OS for real on emulated hardware into one Virtual PC Image file (that's what makes it slow).It won't overwrite anything on your hard disks/partitions.The only thing you can't test on it is your updated drivers, since it cannot emulate an Nvidia card, only an S3 gfx card or something like that.
