Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** This problem only effects the execution of the IBM Installation Manager when invoked in "wizard mode" when the Installation Manager is invoked using the -mode wizard command line argument along with the -input responseFile This problem does not effect the execution of the Installation Manager in non-GUI (silent) mode using the same response file. This problem does not effect console mode. If the ?profile? element contains a nested ?data key='cic.selector.arch' value='XYZ'/? it will be ignored and potentially the wrong profile will be chosen and it will not be possible to change this value in the gui. For example: ?profile id='IBM Software Delivery Platform_1' installLocation='C:\Program Files\RAD 8.5'? ?data key='cic.selector.arch' value='x86_64'/? ?/profile? Work around: 1. Install silently using the response file 2. Do not start the Installation Manager with the parameters -mode wizard -input responseFile
Problem conclusion
This problem has been fixed in the IBM Installation Manager version 1.6.
