Yes, I have seen a bad commit disk on several occasions.  No errors when 
creating it and a tar tvf shows many of the files but then has a read error 
near the end.  If my memory serves me correctly the last file you should see in 
the tar tvf list is xterms

Tim,
Did you verify the commit disk is OK?  We had a somewhat similar
situation and it turned out to be a bad commit diskette. 

System Rebooted, Restarted Install Program and Hung Up
 - I manually Rebooted system from Task Bar 
 - System would restart and get to the point of loading Foxview and then
reboot.
 - Disabled IA System which allowed System to startup to desktop.
Logfile d:\usr\fox\sp\SetupLog.xxxxx indicated there was an error
reading the tar file from the commit disk. 
Install program never fully completed.
Tar tvf  of Commit Disk indicated a tar read error

Made a new commit diskette and we were OK.

Just thought I would throw this out.

Subject: [foxboro] Software Install failure

We had a Software Install fail on a P92 running v.8.4.2 recently, and I
was hoping somebody out there had seen this particular type of failure
and could enlighten us on what they think might have caused it.
The purpose of the Software Install was to run a commit disk through
with a new CP and some new workstations in a different area of the
refinery.  We wanted this P92 to know about those changes so the new
stations would show up in System Monitor and be accessible with
FoxSelect and so on.  This particular P92 had no new CP's to host or any
other significant changes to its own files, just a few PCHANG's for
SysMon.

After the Software Install environment is invoked, the box reboots, and
the commit disk is requested and loaded, the process always stalls at a
dialog box that reads "The system is now modifying registry settings" or
something like that.  When we checked the installation log, it always
stops at the last entry for modifying the registry, as compared to older
installation logs from successful commits.  The next step that never
runs is "Setting of Environment Variables".

We have some third-party services running on the box, but we either
uninstalled or disabled these services and re-ran the commit with the
same results.

Has anybody had a failure similar to this?  As usual with Software
Install failures, the standard answer is a Day Zero of the box.  We will
do that when time and circumstance permit, but if we had an idea of the
cause, we might be able to avoid this in the future.

Thanks,
