  installation to the <MQ_INSTALL_ROOT>\conv\table folder; where
  <MQ_INSTALL_ROOT> is the root WMQ server installation directory.
  

Problem summary

  Solaris (x86-64),Windows
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM SUMMARY:
  A change was made at v7 to the way that conversion tables were
  issued for installation. This change did not take into account
  a number of conversion tables which had been issued at v6.

  set of conversion tables.
