If you are using a state file that was created on the same platform on which you are using it, the problem might be due to an unknown file corruption error. There are two approaches to troubleshooting this issue.
If you created the state file on the same platform on which you are running the silent installation, generate a new state file and reinstall.
If you are using a state file that was created on a different platform or version, the problem is that state files must be run on the same type of platform on which they are created. For example, if you created the state file on Solaris 9, you cannot use it on Solaris 10, or, if you created the state file on the x86 platform, you cannot use it on the SPARC platform.
If the platform on which you created the state file is not the same as the platform on which you are running the silent installation, create a new, platform-appropriate ID for the file. For instructions on how to do this, refer to Creating a Platform-Appropriate State File ID.
