Error description

  • In wizard mode, IM 1.5.2 fails to pickup package installed
    directory from a response file.
    
    
    To reproduce this issue you need the following items:
    
    1. A response file that can be used to install RAD or ClearCase
    2. a Windows 7 64bit machine
    
    How to reproduce the issue:
    1. Start cmd as an administrator
    2. run IBMIM -input ?your response file?
    or IBMIM -mode wizard -input ?your response file?
    
    Result:  IM does not allow user to change the package
    Installation Directory and select the path this is declared in
    the response file
    
    In order to workaround the problem, the customer needs to create
    a new package group.
    
    This issue does not occur with silent mode (using the same
    response file) and with GUI mode.  The issue is reproducible on
    multiple Windows 7 64 bit machines.
