Hi all,
we are trying to install new TS 7.4.1 platform on RHEL 6.5, using remote Xwindows forwarding over Putty SSH.
Using Xming, X forwarding is working well and we are able to open e.g. a Firefox window from the server and Xterm, etc.
Installed OpenDeploy without a hitch but, when running the TS 7.4.1 installer a strange error pops up:
Putty X11 proxy: wrong authorisation protocol attempted
Graphical installers are not supported by the VM. The console mode will be used instead....
Preparing CONSOLE Mode installation...

....program exits. No install log is created, no other error message given.
And, true to form, I have solved this before I even post this message....so, for anyone else that encounters this issue:
Because the installer is a Java program, you need to pass some XAUTH parameters to the Java VM, that it doesn't pick up on its own. Therefore, instead of e.g.
'sudo ./IWOVInstaller-Linux-7.4.1.0.0.bin'
you need to use
'sudo XAUTHORITY=/home/loggedinuser/.Xauthority ./IWOVInstaller-Linux-7.4.1.0.0.bin'
I hope this helps someone else!
