Dear all,
during local tests for installing CA Spectrum R9.4 on Linux(RedHat 6) the installation did fail due to missing "libaio" library (you may find appropriate info under $SPECROOT/Install-Tools/LOGS/<9.4_dir>/mysql.log). Then - applying this missing library - show still a failing CA Spectrum R9.4 re-install. Even during new installation dialog select to not preserve existing files (indicating doing truly a new install from scratch) - the installation fails for the mysql-service part. The $SPECROOT/Install-Tools/LOGS/<9.4_dir>/mysql.log covers then:

To resolve this problem you need to fully un-install/delete the "initially failed" Spectrum installation at all - and doing a new install from scratch. This time the install then works. Kind regards, Joerg
