Hallo Kurt,
I don't know exactly the cause of this, since it happened only once with me in about 6 or 7 AC installs, but I solved it by copying all the .jar files that are in the base dir of the install package to a "shared" folder I created myself. Since you already created the folder, just copy (do not move) the files into it.

I've installed the ISC console version 5.1 already and now I want to install the Adminstration Center plug-in into the ISC. I've downloaded the package C84RRML.exe from the Passport Advantage site which contains the AC version 5.3.1. I unpack it and run afterwards the SetupAC.exe file. The ISC console is running at the beginning of the installation, the install path to ISC is specified together with the password of iscadmin and then the installation begins. It fails however with following messages in the ac_install.log file: Starting a new install instance at [September 21, 2005 1:10:34 PM CEST] ******************************************************************************** [September 21, 2005 1:10:34 PM CEST] *** Progress bar thread starting *** [September 21, 2005 1:10:47 PM CEST] **** Installation Begin **** [September 21, 2005 1:10:47 PM CEST] Completed step number: 0 [September 21, 2005 1:10:47 PM CEST] Stoping ISC...

The files 'D:\ac\shared\dsmhealthmon.jar' that the log is mentioning do not exists indeed as they are located in D:\ac (the subdirectory where the C84RRML.exe file was extracted). The directory d:\ac\shared does not exist. I've downloaded the package already again but the problem remains. Creating the 'shared' subdirectory myself does not work either. Does anybody knows what I'm missing over here? thanks, Kurt Beyers
