  ****************************************************************
  Users Affected:
  Users attempting silent install of the Run Time Client
  
  Problem Description:
  Install checks screen resolution is greater that 600x800 even
  though a silent install does not display a graphical user
  interface.
  
  Problem Summary:
  Unattended / Silent install of the Run Time Client will fail if
  the screen resolution is not at least 800 x 600
  

Problem conclusion

• Problem first fixed in v9.5 FP1 and continued to remain fixed
  untill FixPack 4.
  However from FixPack 5 onwards the situation described by this
  APAR can be seen again, because the resolution check was
  re-introduced to introduce code changes for another APAR
  JR32879.
  

Temporary fix

• Set screen resolution to 800 x 600 or greater
