This error occurs since the installer will not copy the         
server-core.xml file into folder <was-root>\profiles\AppSrv01\co
nfig\cells\<yourcell>\nodes\<your

LOCAL FIX:                                                      
The workaround is to manually copy the server-core.xml file into
folder <was-root>\profiles\AppSrv01\config\cells\<yourcell>\node
s\<your node>\servers\server1                                   
                                                                
The file is located at <was-root>\profileTemplates\managed.wbico
