We are installing WLS 8.1 SP1 on Windows 2000 Server SP3 and running into a 
problem.
When installing, the "Preparing Install" splash screen appears and progress 
bar
updates 100% complete then the screen disappears and the install wizard neve
r
appears.  In task manager I can still see the exe is running.  Any ideas on 
how
to get past this problem.

Run the MSI version of the installer and enable debugging, as seen
here:

http://support.microsoft.com/suppor...s/q223/3/00.asp

This may be due to the installer not having administrator privileges
on the machine. Did you log in as a user with admin privileges on that
machine?

Hope this helps...

We are having a similar issue. Did you get 8.1 installer to run? If so - how
?

Hi Ben,

Please try two things:

1. Delete all old hanging processes and try installer again.
2. If it still doesn't work, please run installer from a command window and 
debug
options as follows and attach the log so I can see why it's failing:
platform810_win32.exe -log=<path to log file> -log_priority=debug

Having the same problem with installer of WLS8.1 SP2 and installers of JRock
it
8.1. It seems that there is a problem with all their installer on Win 2K Ser
ver
SP3 or 4. Note, we do not have this problem when installing on Win 2K Profes
sional.

Both installer and javaw pgm are running in memory but nothing happens.
