Abstract:  4.0.6 install script fails to check IHS version when adminctl is not installed

Description/symptom of problem:  When attempting to install WebSphere PTF 4.0.6 on a Unix machine, the installation fails to verify the IBM HTTP Server version if the Web Server&apos;s administrative server is not installed.  The file that the installation is looking for is <IHS_HOME>/bin/adminctl.

The error that is thrown by the install script is:
ERROR: The IBM HTTP Server update is enabled but the specified IBM HTTP Server Home &apos;IHS_UPDATE_HOME&apos; is not the version required (1.3.19.x) for this update.

Directions to apply fix:  
1) Create temporary "fix" directory to store the jar file:
   Unix: /tmp/WebSphere/fix
   
2) Copy jar file to the directory

3) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/prompts as they appear:
   java -jar <jarfile name>
NOTE: When prompted for a target directory where to apply the Fix, enter the directory where the fixpack install script (install.sh) resides and NOT the WebSphere home directory.

4) The temp directory may be removed but the jar file should be saved.  Do not remove
	any files created and stored in the <target_directory>/Fix directory.
   These files are required if a fix is to be removed.


Directions to remove fix:  
NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS
 		ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.  YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX.

Example:  If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be
			 removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied.


1) Change directory to the fix location (<target_directory>/Fix).


2) Run the backup jar file with the following command:
	java -jar <backup_fix#>


Directions to re-apply fix:  
Follow the instructions for applying a fix.

If the backup files still exist (from the previous fix application), you will be prompted to overwrite.

Answer "yes" at the overwrite prompts.

Additional Information:  When prompted for a target directory by the Fix installer, please enter the directory where the 4.0.6 PTF install script resides (install.sh) and NOT the WebSphere home directory.  This fix must be applied before the 4.0.6 installation is performed.
