Error description
Customer wanted to install the plugin and JDK on a remote
iis web server, after selecting the specific items from the
WAS install CD the plugin and JDK were installed but he later
did not have the option to uninstall from the server.  The
setupdll.dll and uninstWAS40.exe were not installed on the box.

****************************************************************
During the 4.0.1 base installation of WebSphere on Windows, if
the user only chooses to install the "Application Assembly and
Deployment Tools" and / or "Web server Plugins" option(s)
from the installation, the files that uninstall the product do
not get installed.
The files that are missing are:
uninstWAS40.exe
setupdll.dll
iis40lib.dll
These files are suppose to reside in the C:\WebSphere\AppServer
directory.  When these files are not installed the user has no
way of uninstalling WebSphere other than to manually clean up
the Windows registry and delete the WebSphere installation
directory.
Problem conclusion
The PTF installer was modified to install the three files
necessary to properly uninstall WebSphere.  uninstWAS40.exe,
setupdll.dll and iis40lib.dll will now be installed if they
are missing on a WebSphere installation on Windows during the
PTF installation.
Temporary fix
The uninstWAS40.exe, setupdll.dll and iis40lib.dll files are
installed for component-only installations on Windows.  This
Test eFix will install those files so the user can properly
uninstall WebSphere and clean up the registry.
