As an update to this problem, I just now
successfully installed Condor v6.6.11. I sure wish I knew what changed with
v6.8.* that has caused so much difficulty.

from another post thinking it was the same as mine (and I didn’t want to
rerun the install for the 11th time. The actual error is: CUSTOM ACTION "ExeCaKeyF04" FAILED (unexpected
return code). LOCATION: C:\Condor\, COMMAND: "cmd.exe" /c
condor_set_acls.exe “C:\Condor” I don’t use the Windows Firewall. Thanks for your help!

Behalf Of John Alberts I'm not sure about about the first error,
except that it's obviously having a problem trying to set permissions on the
c:\condor directory to readonly for everyone and full for administrators. The second problem: I've only had condor hang like that when
it was having problems with the built-in windows firewall. I have the
firewall turned off, and the following in my condor_config. ADD_WINDOWS_FIREWALL_EXCEPTION = FALSE WINDOWS_FIREWALL_FAILURE_RETRY = 10 I've found it easier to just use the zip
file instead of the installer they provide. That way I can customize the
install to our environment easier. NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net) is what I
use. John Alberts From:
condor-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Hi, We’ve
used Condor occasionally for a couple of years. We have another big
project to do and we decided to upgrade to the latest version (v6.8.2) and also add a bunch
of new PCs to our pool. Unfortunately, we’re having severe
installation problems. I’ve
not been able to find a pattern, but the installation works like a charm on
some computers and gives me fits on others. We are using Condor on Windows
boxes (Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Server 2003 x64). When
I run on my personal XP desktop,
I get a pop-up window that says: “CUSTOM
ACTION "ExeCaKeyF04" FAILED(unexpected return code). LOCATION:
C:\Condor\, COMMAND: "cmd.exe" /c echo y|cacls "C:\condor"
/t /g Everyone:R Administrators:F” I
see in the archives that others have reported this problem, but I found no
answers. On
one server (Server 2003), the installation runs, but it gets hung trying to
stop the Condor service. I’ve found with previous versions that I
sometimes had to set the Condor service to start manually and reboot the
computer to stop the service for upgrades or uninstalls. If
anyone can provide any help, I will be most appreciative. Condor is such
a powerful tool, but it is causing me to waste a lot of time right now.
Time I don’t have. Marshall
