This could be late, but could be useful to the others trying to install.

This error is a bug inside installer code, I decompiled the code, see:

String s3 = (new StringBuilder()).append(s.trim()).append(File.separator).append("bin").append(File.separator).append("asadmin get --user "

).append(s1.trim()).append(" --password ").append(s2.trim()).append(" --terse=true server.applications.web-module.*.context-root").toString();

Command command = new Command(s3);

int i = command.execute();

System.out.println("command.execute = " + i);

Vector vector = new Vector(0);

if(i == 0) {

The problem is the command.execute() returns > 0, then the vector is not initialized, resulting in a NPE.

I initialized the vector = new Vector(0); and the portal7 was installed sucessfully.

Hey All,

If you have installed the Admin Console listener port for the Application Server on a non-standard (anything other than 4849), you will get this error.

A quick and easy way around it is to bring up another http-listener using the __asadmin as it's server.

Just make sure you mark the new listener as secure and you should be ok to rock and roll.
