This is a discussion on swinstall fails because of: The target "hostname:/" failed Analysis - HP UX ; I use following command to execute the swinstall: $ su root -c 'swinstall -s /home/joe/jvm/sdk14_14210_pa.depot' Following are the Settings shown on the swinstall interface: Source: hostname:/home/joe/jvm/sdk14_14210_pa.depot Target: hostname:/ After I mark and install one software, it prompts: The target "hostname:/" ...
I use following command to execute the swinstall:
$ su root -c 'swinstall -s /home/joe/jvm/sdk14_14210_pa.depot'
Following are the Settings shown on the swinstall interface:
Source: hostname:/home/joe/jvm/sdk14_14210_pa.depot
Target: hostname:/
After I mark and install one software, it prompts:
The target "hostname:/" failed Analysis, so the task cannot be
executed.
How can I use swinstall correctly.
PS: Can I put that depot file under a user home that may not be
available from root and/or depot, e.g.:
/home/joe/jvm/sdk14_14210_pa.depot
Sincerely

I assign /bin/sdk14_14210_pa to "Target" again and complete the
installation. But is the new path a right choice for a user utility?
Thank you.
