POUnable to install Java JDK on Windows via cygwin/ssh
text
Body
copied!<p>For testing purposes, I am automating creation of configured EC2 machines. The creation/configuration is done via ssh connection (same logic for various OSs). On windows (Windows 2003 Server), there is cygwin with ssh pre-configured, so that I can ssh there.</p> <p>As part of the configuration, I need to install given version of Java SDK. I upload the exe installer (jdk-6u34-windows-i586.exe) to the machine and run it with the /s parameter (silent install). When I run this from windows console (in remote desktop) or even via cygwin in remote desktop, it works perfectly. But when I ssh to there and run it in cygwin via ssh, if fails.</p> <p>The fail seems to be quite strange, since the installer <strong>partially</strong> extracts it's content into <code>c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Sun\Java\jdk1.6.0_34</code> and then it fails with <strong>exit code 67</strong>. The number of files extracted before exit varies.</p> <p>When doing this programatically using Java and <code>Jsch</code>, the command also prints error message <code>initgroups: Permission denied</code> to the error stream. I don't see this message when I connect manually via ssh, so I am not sure, if it's related (when googling, I found this error occuring in completely different context, which did not help me).</p> <p>I would welcome any explanations, why this happens (and how to fix/work around it). Other hints how to reliably automatically install given JDK on EC2 windows machine are welcomed as well. Thanks. </p>
