ERROR_INSTALL_FAILURE (1603) during installation of Fix Pack 2 for v5.0 or v5.0.2 full installation image
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
When installing WebSphere® Application Server Fix Pack 2 for Version 5.0, installation of embedded messaging fails and a dialog box appears containing the following message:

"Error installing CSD 04. Examine log file 'Install_Root \logs\MQCSDLog.txt'. (AMQ4760)"

The file MQCSDLog.txt contains the following entries:

Installing 'WMQ_Install_Root\bin\amqxms0n.dll'
copying from 'CSD_Install_Root\CSD\CSD00001\amqxms0n.dll' to 'WMQ_Install_Root\bin\amqxms0n.dll'
source version: '5.300.400.3168' target: '5.300.100.2283'
source file time 'Sep 29 2003 at 15:25' (127093227302812500)
target file time 'Oct 11 2002 at 08:00' (126787968000000000)
***Copy failed 1224

Finished file installation
MessageBox: 'Error installing CSD 04. Examine log file 'Install_Root\logs\MQCSDLog.txt'. (AMQ4760)'
Ending with RC 1603 (0x00000643)
 
Cause
The problem occurs as the Windows Management Instrumentation system service uses the file amqxms0n.dll. If you attempt to install Fix Pack 2 while this service is running, the fix pack is unable to update the file because it is currently in use.

This problem also occurs when trying to install the full installation image of v5.0.2, instead of applying the fix pack separately.

 
Solution
Before installing Fix Pack 2, ensure that the Windows Management Instrumentation system service is stopped. To stop this service:
  1. Select Settings >Control Panel from the Windows Start menu.

  2. When the Control Panel appears, click Administrative Tools.

  3. Click Services.

  4. The Services applet displays. Highlight the entry for the Windows Management Instrumentation service in the list of services, right-click and select Stop from the pop-up menu.

You can now install WebSphere Application Server Fix Pack 2 without any problems.
