Stops at Installing IE #270

Open badtant opened 8 years ago

badtant commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I just installed the latest VirtualBox and ran the script. IE6 installed fine and then it went on to IE7. The installation seems to have stoped there...

Copying IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe to C:\Documents and Settings\IEUser\Desktop\IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe 1 file(s) copied. Installing IE

Any ideas?

xdissent commented 8 years ago

Does it quit entirely or is it still running? It should be "Waiting for shutdown" for a while after it kicks off the install. What OS is this?

badtant commented 8 years ago

It's running but doing nothing. After a while the screen saver kicks in. The installation of IE never seems to start.

OSX Yosemite 10.10.5

badtant commented 8 years ago

no ideas?

grobmeier commented 8 years ago

I have the same problem, also using Yosemite 10.10.5

a-rigatuso commented 8 years ago

Same problem here for 10.10.5. Fails installing IE8.

rahearn commented 8 years ago

Same issue here. OSX 10.10.5, Virtualbox 5.0.2.

Seems to just hang forever with "Installing IE" as the last message.

Same problem, Ubuntu 15.04, Virtualbox 5.0.4.

SOLVED IT... Its because of permissions. Just type 'sudo' first, then paste the curl command, like this:

sudo curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | bash

PS: before you reinstall, delete the folders:

badtant commented 8 years ago

Hmm, sudo seems to get past ie7 but then stops at ie8. Seems like I have to do it one by one.

thekendalmiller commented 8 years ago

Upgrading VirtualBox to 5.0 fixed this for me. Once on 5.0, there was an alert that the application needed sudo access to continue.

I was previously on VirtualBox 4.3. I didn't take a screenshot of the alert and now it's not appearing on a new install. I think it related to guest control.

If you are still on VirtualBox 4.3, you should be able to change the curl URL to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdissent/ievms/v0.2.1/ievms.sh

Same here, stops at installing IE8 OS X 10.10.3 and VirtualBox 5.0.6 Running it with sudo didn't help.

kelicia commented 8 years ago

Mine is hung up as well: Copying IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe to C:\Documents and Settings\IEUser\Desktop\IE7-WindowsXP-x86-enu.exe

OS X 10.10.5 Vbox 5.0.6

Used sudo.

I think I've spotted what's going on - I had VirtualBox open during the installation and so I could see the preview of what the VM was showing on the Windows Desktop.

The IE7 installer in Windows fails to download any IE7 updates and so it never finishes, and so (I assume) never tells the installation script to carry on.

If you wait long enough for the VM to get to that point, you can kill the script in your terminal, open the IE7 VM from inside VirtualBox and then re-run the IE7 installer that's sitting on the desktop. I've got IE7 running that way, I just unticked the "install updates" option in the installer.

Presumably Windows Update won't talk to IE7 any more?...

Hope this helps :)

4foot30 commented 8 years ago

PS - I ran each installion separately after that as suggested in the README, with

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | env IEVMS_VERSIONS="7" bash

for example. 7 stalled, 6, 8, 9, 10, and 11 were ok although 10 and 11 took a few minutes to shut down Windows at the end of the installation. Edge wouldn't install:

Neutromo commented 8 years ago

Nice Job @4foot30 I think that was the problem

OliverJAsh commented 8 years ago

I have the same issue.

VirtualBox 5.0.10 r104061

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | env IEVMS_VERSIONS="8" bash

I opened the IE VM and it appears to be doing nothing, not even running updates.

anotherjames commented 8 years ago

@4foot30's solution worked for me (IE8 was the one I was trying to get working) - re-ran the installer from the desktop icon, then restarted windows.
