APAR status
Closed as program error.

Error description
Install of fixpack 1 for WSAS 5.1 on Windows 2003 fails to updat
e the gskit to 7.0.1.16 because Win 2003 is not recognized as
a valid OS. In the was51_fp1_win_prereq.gskit.ptf_install.log
it shows that no errors are reported. It does show the following
Validating platform for (Windows NT, Windows 2000)
platform check is negative.
Product File Update is not active; skipping update step.
From Program Files\IBM\gsk\bin\gskit7ver still yeilds 7.0.1.10
instead of 7.0.1.16.
Local fix
The update installer places the unzipped update.jar for the
gskit in WAS_HOME\gskit5install. Open a command prompt. Change
directory to WAS_HOME\gskit5install. Run the following command
from the command prompt, setup.exe WAS_HOME\gskit5install. The
Path is specified so that the gskit installer can find the file,
setup.iss. This will launch the gskit installer. Keep hitting
next until it completes. Verify the successful install, go to
the directory of your IHS server is stored and run :
C:\Program Files\IBM\gsk\bin\gskit7ver, should yield 7.0.1.16.
