****************************************************************
During the installation of FixPack 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 on Windows if
the user sets the TMP environment variable to a directory that
contains spaces (ie: C:\Program Files\WebSphereTmp) the PTF
installation will fail with the following error:
************************************************
Noted temporary directory from in the environment (''TMP''):
C:\Program Files\WebSphereTmp

Testing that the temporary directory is writable.

The temporary directory is writable.

Using summary log:
C:\Program Files\WebSphereTmp\Summary_ptf_3_02-08-23-08.30.26
.log

Testing that the summary log can be written.

The summary log can be written.

Files\WebSphereTmp was unexpected at this time.
************************************************
Problem conclusion
This error is thrown because the install script was adding
quotes around the SUMMARYLOG varible in the wrong location.
The quotes should have been placed around the value that the
variable was set to.
The script was changed to add quotes on the following line:
set SUMMARYLOG="%TMP%\%SUMMARYBASE%"
