Error when running 12.0.5 updater

[bledrew1]

Got this strange error running the FMS 12.0.5 updater. This just a test server to used prior to rolling out the update to our production servers.  It's got me stumped. Any clues would be greatly appreciated.

 

Windows 2006 R2 Enterprise, SP1

The obvious answer is that FMS is not installed at all.  Is it?

Close. It was my mistake. It turns out you can't go from 12.0.1 to 12.0.5 directly. You have to run 12.0.4 first because it's the updater that installs JAVA 7. Even though I had JAVA 7 installed, it is required. I wasn't thorough enough in checking because it doesn't mention it in the 12.0.5 notes. Our production servers had been updated, but when IT provided the installer for a temporary test install, they provided the original installer. D'oh. 

 

At least I hope if anyone else gets tripped up answering my own question might help someone. Thanks though, Wim.
