Windows Installer error during PeopleTools 8.57 installation on Windows and Linux Server through DPK

Error during PeopleTools 8.57 installation on Windows and Linux Server through DPK

Following error occurs sometimes when you are installing PeopleTools using DPK.


This error occurs during Puppet installation. It is because we have space in directory names where we have extracted DPK first zip file. E.g. d:\install dpk\setup.bat it should be d:\install_dpk\setup.bat
Hope this helps.

PeopleTools 8.57 installation on Windows Server through DPK

2.Before you proceed for PeopleTools installation you will need to install Puppet software through admin user. If you wanted to installed PeopleTools through admin access then you don't need to install Puppet separately. Use following command if you wanted to install only Puppet using root user. Here we are proceeding to install puppet with PeopleTools installation.
 
3. Open the Windows Command prompt with admin rights. Change directory to DPK_INSTALL/setup
D:/DPK_INSTALL/setup>psft-dpk-setup.bat --env_type midtier --deploy_only --deploy_type tools_home

The bootstrap script is ready to deploy and configure the PeopleSoft
environment using the default configuration defined in the Puppet
Hiera YAML files. You can proceed by answering 'y' at the following
prompt. And, if you want to customize the environment by overriding
the default configuration, you can answer 'n'. If you answer 'n', you
should follow the instructions in the PeopleSoft Installation Guide
for creating the customization Hiera YAML file and running the Puppet
'apply' command directly to continue with the setup of the PeopleSoft
environment.
 
Do you want to continue with the default initialization process? [y|n]: n
 
You have decided not to continue with the default PeopleSoft environment
setup process. Any customizations to the PeopleSoft environment should be
done in the Hiera YAML file 'psft_customizations.yaml' and place it under
[D:/PS/PT857Base\dpk\puppet\production\data] folder. After making the
necessary customizations, run the following commands to continue with the
setup of PeopleSoft environment.
 
1. cd /d D:/PS/PT857Base\dpk\puppet\production\manifests
2. "C:\Program Files\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin\puppet.bat" apply --confdir=D:/PS/PT857Base\dpk\puppet site.pp --debug --trace --detailed-exitcodes --logde
st /some_valid_path/to/log/psft_dpk_setup.log

ps_home:

db_type: "%{hiera('db_platform')}"

unicode_db: "%{hiera('unicode_db')}"

location: "D:/PSHOME"
 
5. Run the following command and PeopleTools 8.57 with patch will get installed.
 cd /d D:/PS/PT857Base\dpk\puppet\production\manifests
"C:\Program Files\Puppet Labs\Puppet\bin\puppet.bat" apply --confdir=D:/PS/PT857Base\dpk\puppet site.pp --debug --trace --detailed-exitcodes --logde
st d:/psft_dpk_setup.log
