Possible Installation Problems

As described in the following paragraphs, you might encounter an installation problem when you attempt to install SunVTS with an installation program other than the pkgadd command.

Installation Problem: 32-bit Only Systems and Web Start 2.0 (BugID 4257539)

Web Start 2.0 may not install SunVTS on systems that do not have the Solaris 64-bit environment installed. Web Start 2.0 removes the SunVTS 32-bit packages when the SunVTS 64-bit packages cause the installation to suspend.

Workaround: Use the pkgadd command to install the 32-bit SunVTS packages as described in the SunVTS 4.6 User's Guide.

Installation Problem: Security and Web Start 2.0 (BugID 4362563)

When you install SunVTS using Web Start 2.0, you are not prompted to enable the Sun Enterprise Authentication Mechanism^TM (SEAM) Kerberos v5, SunVTS security feature. The installation defaults in a way that installs SunVTS without this high level of security. If you do not want the high-level security, there is no problem.

Workaround: To enable the high-level SEAM security, use the pkgadd command to install SunVTS packages as described in the SunVTS 4.6 User's Guide.

Installation Problem: Installation Directory With Web Start 2.0 Is Not User-Definable (BugID 4243921)

When you attempt to install SunVTS using Web Start 2.0, you are unable to change the directory where SunVTS is installed. SunVTS is installed in /opt.

Workaround: Use the pkgadd -a none command to install SunVTS in the directory of your choice, as described in the SunVTS 4.6 User's Guide.

Installation Recommendation: Perform Installations and Uninstallations Using the Same Program

If you install SunVTS using Web Start 2.0, you should also uninstall it using Web Start 2.0. If you install SunVTS with the pkgadd command, you should uninstall it with the pkgrm command.
