[GeoNetwork-devel] Windows Server x64 install problem

Hi all

Just giving GeoNetwork a try as a potential CSW Server solution. First environment: Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, the screen after the files are transferred to the install directory is displaying blank, clicking next at this point freezes the installer. Second environment: Windows 7 x86, the installer correctly brings up the start menu screen, and the installation completes successfully.

Quick google suggests that whilst the izpack installer contains and references the shelllink.dll, it may need to include and reference shelllink_x64.dll for the start menu screen (and install process) to work in an x64 environment.

Could this be considered for a future build of the installer please, also is there a known workaround in the meantime?

Many thanks

See https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/issues/983

As a workaround, you could

  • use the WAR file to install the application
  • or copy the installation from the working machine

Cheers
