Installing PCNS on Windows Server 2008 Core Domain Controller

Installing PCNS on Windows Server Core 2008 Domain Controller
Follow the instructions in the zipfile except for these two problems you will run into.
1. Java Runtime will be the first problem here are some test results. You will have to use the 32-bit offline installer. It is the only one that works for existing DC's. If you are making a new domain controller install java x64-p before you promote the machine and it should work.

Installer used= jre-6u13-windows-x64-p.exe
ERROR
Installer : Wrapper.CreateFile failed with error 3: The system cannot find the path specified.

I tried in safe mode too.
Any ideas?

It does work on a non-domain controller. Log in as local admin to install.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installer used = jre-6u13-windows-i586-p-iftw.exe
ERROR
Windows Installer: Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid.

I did not check this installer against a non-domain controller.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installer used = jre-6u13-windows-i586-p-s.exe
INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY

I did not check this installer against a non-domain controller.

2. Installing PCNS
You must reboot press F8 during load and select "Safe mode with networking" to load windows. The rest of the instructions seem to work fine except you must reboot again and start the computer in normal mode to run the PCNSconfig.vbs
