Successful installation reported after profile creation failure

If the profile creation step fails during a custom installation, the failure is not recognized by Installation Manager, which reports a successful installation. This problem occurs only on Windows platforms.

This problem applies to IBM® Business Automation Workflow - Process Server, IBM Business Monitor, or WebSphere® Enterprise Service Bus.

The failure of the profile creation step is indicated in the profile creation log. For example, you might see the following error: INSTCONFFAILED: Profile augmentation failed.

To resolve the problem, perform the following steps:
  1. Check the profile creation log, which is located in the <install_root>/logs/manageprofiles directory, to determine the cause of the error.
  2. Complete one of the following steps:
    • Delete the profile that contains the error. Then, use the manageprofiles command or the Profile Management Tool to create a new profile.
    • Install the product with a custom installation, but do not create a profile. Then, after installation, use the manageprofiles command or the Profile Management Tool to create the profile.
