Creating and deploying an installable image for Windows computers - Documentation for PATROL Installation Utility 11.0

If you created an installable image on a Windows computer to be installed on UNIX computers, you must make sure that the method that you use to transfer the image (for example, tarring the image) maintains execute permissions on the installable image files when you unpack the files on the UNIX computer. If the permissions are not maintained, you might receive an error message similar to the following when you try to install the image: "Error: Executable not found './thorinst.s25'.

To correct the file permissions, before you install the image, perform one of the following tasks depending on where the installable image directory resides:

• If you exported the image to a directory that is at the root level, for example, /image, change to the root directory and enter chmod -R 755 /image.
• If you exported the image to a directory that is not at the root level, for example, /image/myimage, change to the directory in which the image directory is located (/image), and enter chmod -R 755 /image/myimage.
