The install in linux was interrupted. Now I am getting the dialog

 

There has been an error.
Previous installation of Thingworx_Foundation is found. Please uninstall the existing installation and then re-install.

 

I can't seem to find any docs on how to uninstall.

I finally got it installed. After trying every combination of update-alternatives and update-java-alternatives, I had to uninstall openjdk-11. Only then would TX use oracle-jdk-8.

 

So what, 5 hours to install the trial. Good thing I was motivated.

I dug around and deleted various directories `*worx*`. Then the install would run again.

 

But how I get this error dialog, which does not give me much to go on.

 

Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly
Error running ./check-http-response --username "Administrator" --password **** --hostname "localhost" --hostport "8448" --useSSL=1: 1

Clicking thru the dialogs results in the main install dialog just saying it "failed"?

 

Is linux an uncommon install for thingworx?

Found and ran the uninstall script in /opt/twxFoundationH2Trail-8.3.2.

 

The tried installing again, this time without SSL.

 

Same error dialog at the end. However there was no install log created this time around.
