I've been playing with the trail some this week and had a problem and a few quick questions.
For the questions, where can I configure what the OS Shell and the File Browser to launch are? I don't have xTerm installed nor am I running a desktop environment so those two options fail to do anything useful currently.
And for the problem, when running the 'vsinst' script, it seems to run successfully up until it tries to verify licensing at which point it simply hangs. The output to the screen reads as:
(5:1195)$ sudo ./vsinst

Running license manager to verify licensing...
A simple 'pkill vsinst' terminates it. It exhibited the same behavior on both the original install and on overwriting the existing install (the above example). Configuring the license manually and running the application worked fine though. I can't seem to find a log file which might have more information (though, I may not have searched hard enough).
