Error description

  • After installing WebSphere MQ Explorer from the installation
    media for WebSphere MQ 7.1.0.2, or using the package MS0T: IBM
    WebSphere MQ Explorer, launch the 'About IBM WebSphere MQ
    Explorer' dialog by selecting:
    Help-> About IBM WebSphere MQ Explorer
    
    WebSphere MQ Explorer gives the version 7.1.0.0. The expected
