Troubleshooting


Problem

error: setup initialization error, setup is unable to find installation language in D:\edi\setup.lid (SCI93351)

Symptom

error: setup initialization error, setup is unable to find installation language in D:\edi\setup.lid
error: error 105

Cause

When the standards are downloaded electronically, they are received as a zip
file. The name of the zip file will vary with the standards release. For
example, the October 2005 standards release had a zip file named
Standards32_1005_cd.zip. The zip file must be unzipped before any of the the
setup.exe files that it contains will work properly. The error came up because
a setup.exe file was double clicked before the zip file was unzipped.

Resolving The Problem



  1. Using Windows Explorer, double click on the standards zip file that was downloaded.


  2. Click Actions>Select All.


  3. Click Actions>Extract.


  4. Change the entry in the "Extract to" field to a working area outside of the Commerce Connection32 directory.


  5. Click the Extract button.


  6. Wait for the extraction to complete.


  7. Go to the directory that the zip file was unzipped to.


  8. Click the desired setup.exe file. For installation of standards, that will be the one in the i386 directory.
Note The default installation directory for Gentran:Director is C:\Program Files\Commerce Connection32. If that is not where Director was installed, change the directory name in step 4 of the Fix accordingly, i.e., do not extract to that directory.
