Hello Tavares,

Thanks for your quick reply, really appreciated.

But i didnt understand how to to resolve it…

I am able to manually execute this command-line (install --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -installationDirectory /opt/IBM/InstallationManager -installationDirectory -svP -acceptLicense) by navigating to the location of the installer “install” in terminal(/opt/CLM-Web-Installer-Linux-6.0.5/im/linux.gtk.x86_64) and its success.
But my yaml file only failing. any suggestions?

Hi

Based on your error message:

… at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.create(Display.java:900)“, " at org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Device.(Device.java:156)”, " …

It looks like the installer is failing when trying to bring up some window/dialog box of some kind…

When running through ansible, it will NOT have access to a graphical terminal…
