Attempt to upgrade plug-in code fails with a prerequisite error

Technote (FAQ)
Problem
While trying to use a fix pack to upgrade the plug-in code, the following error was encountered:

The fix pack can not be applied to the currently selected product because of missing prerequisites. Please check your support documentation to determine what prerequisites are required.
Cause
Even though the plug-in code is independent of the version of WebSphere Application Server code (see Related URL section below), if you attempt to use the wrong fix pack product to upgrade the plug-in code, it will fail.
Solution
Upgrade the plug-in code using the same version of the fix pack as was used to install the plug-in code initially. For example, if you use the Base product to install the plug-in code, use the Base fix pack code to upgrade the plug-in.
