Installation hangs more than five minutes during Update Tool configuration.
Cancel the installation and run the installation program again, but this time deselect the Install Update Tool check box. Update Tool can be installed later from as-install/bin/. For more information about Update Tool, see Update Tool in Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1 Administration Guide. For general information about GlassFish Serverinstallation, see the Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1 Installation Guide.
Note - Update Tool differs from Upgrade Tool, which is used to migrate the configuration and deployed applications from an earlier version of GlassFish Server to the current version. For more information about Upgrade Tool and upgrading, see the Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1 Upgrade Guide.
Not all GlassFish Server directories are automatically removed by the uninstallation program. Some directories and files remain after uninstalling.
Examine the remaining directories and remove any files or directories that you do not want, including hidden directories prefixed with a dot. It is safe to remove uninstallation and installation log files after you have examined them.
For information related to uninstallation, see Chapter 2, Uninstalling GlassFish Server 3.1, in Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1 Installation Guide.
