Our backup server got moved to a new data center and then it would not come up. They tried everything but finally had to re-install AIX5.3. The one backup .tar that we had was corrupted. So now I am trying to re-install 5.6 on it and I get the wizard to come up and it gets to a certain point and throws me this error:

xterm: Can’t execvp /archive/AIX/./install.

/usr/lpp/X11/bin>

Has anyone seen this or have any idea where to get an answer? Thanx!

  Make sure you are running as root and have an X-server (like eXceed or cygwin) running on your PC.

  I got the re-install done by not using the aix.bin app for the wizard and just manually executing the ./install . at the command line. I was loading as root and I was using Exceed for an xterm window. I think it may have been a path problem or the fact that I was loading from hard drive and not CD. I am up and running and re-creating my sites now. Thanx!
