Error description
Abstract: Kinconfg.exe loops reading file dummy_files_list.txt from HOME\InstallITM\tmp\ directory. The Microsoft code does not recognize end of file so the code loops. Environment: Windows only INSTALL component. This is an OS bug we must code around. Problem Description: Code is reading the above file and never finds end of file so it loops. Recreate Instructions: I doubt it can be recreated locally.
Local fix
No workaround available
Problem summary
On some Windows machines, the installer goes into an endless loop reading dummy_files_list.txt. The operating system fails to signal end of file while the installer is reading dummy_files_list.txt. This causes the installer to continually read without ever stopping. Eventually, the install log is filled to capacity and the install process is aborted, or the customer cancels the install.
Problem conclusion
Added read loop counter that terminates the code if 10 successive reads are performed without finding a dll to delete. The counter prevents the code from looping infinitely. The fix for this APAR is contained in the following maintenance packages: | fix pack | 6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0007
