PQ60600: UNABLE TO APPLY PTF2 WHEN SAMPLE APP WAS UNINSTALLED - ERROR 20

APAR status
Closed as duplicate of another APAR.

Error description
When PTF 2 over WAS 4.0.1 AEs on Windows platform is applied
when sampleapps was uninstalled, the PTF install is not finished
properly & stops with error code 20.The code description is :
Applying jar handling:
\websphere\appserver\/installedApps/sampleApp.ear/Increment.jar
Error 20 -- Jar file does not exist:
\websphere\appserver\/installedApps/sampleApp.ear/Increment.jar
Generating empty jar manifest
PTF2 stops & does not continue to update JDK & IHS.
The jdk_ptf_2.log & ihs_ptf_2.log files are not created.
Maybe the same problem would occur in PTF2 WAS 4.0.1 AE & EE,
WAS 3.5.X SE,AE,SE and on other then Windows 2000 platforms, but
I am not sure & I didn't try it.
Local fix
1. Install sample application.
2. Apply PTF 2.
3. Uninstall sample application (if necessary).
Problem summary Problem conclusion Temporary fix Comments

explains the situation fully.
