APAR status

  'C:\Tmp\microsoft.vc80.x32.iu_999.999.999.759625182\installVS8Ru
  ntime.bat'
  operation (status=1). See agent output log for more information:

  The system cannot find the path specified.
  
  Cause:
  Pre-existing earlier, same, or more recent versions of these 3rd
  party dependencies already exist on the host.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ClearCase and ClearQuest removed the original MSI packages used
  to install 3rdParty components, upon cleanning up the Windows
  MSI cache, the packages had problems to perform Installation
  Manager Operations.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available in ClearCase / ClearQuest 7.1.2.9 and
  8.0.0.5.
  
  Updated the ClearCase / ClearQuest to keep a copy of the
  original MSI packages inside the Install directory in case the
  machine's MSI cache is cleared, in this situation the MSI system
  will have the original MSI path and prevent problems on the
  Installation Manager Operations.
