Hey guys,
Google and forum searchs have come up dry on this so I hope you can help.
I am trying to install HP SIM 7.3 on a VM and the install appears to be terminating at the first application in the set "System management homepage". This happens almost immediately once starting the actual installation.
Reviewing the smh logs reveals a single entry per install attempt... "arg: /regrc "
Previous google suggestions advised turning off "IE ESC", Windows DEP, and installing with a local admin rather than domain user as a member of local admins. Also tried elevating setup.exe to admin. None of these helped.
Prerquisite checks all passed and the database trying to be used is a local copy of SQL express which was installed the first time around by SIM.
Attached a copy of the OSDB and hpsim logs. OS is x64 Server 2008 Standard SP2 running IE 7.
