Error installing SDK Interim Fix: The fix xxxxx is not supported on any of these products
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
When installing an SDK interim fix on IBM® WebSphere® Application Server - Express, an error occurs in the update installer:
The fix xxxxx is not supported on any of these products.
 
Resolving the problem

Users Affected: Users of the Embedded version of Application Server - Express on versions 5.0, 5.1 and 5.1.1.

Products Affected: Some SDK interim fixes for the Embedded version of Application Server - Express on versions 5.0, 5.1, and 5.1.1

Description: A packaging problem in some SDK interim fixes causes the prerequisite check to fail during installation and prevents the SDK update from being installed.

Recommendation:
  1. Uncompress SDK interim fix.
  2. Open *.efixDriver.
  3. Replace product-id="EmbeddedEXPRESS" with product-id="embeddedEXPRESS".
  4. Compress the SDK interim fix into a jar file and install the SDK interim fix.

For example, PK27564_Windows_i386.jar has PK27564_WIndows_i386.efixDriver

The file that needs to be modified is PK27564_WIndows_i386.efixDriver.
