PQ59619: INSTALL PROBLEM GERMAN WEBSPHERE 4.01 AE ON GERMAN REDHAT 7.2. "DATEI NICHT" ERROR MESSAGE.

APAR status
Closed as unreproducible in next release.

Error description
WebSphere Application Server 4.0.2 AE Linux/German RedHat 7.2
Description of the Problem: Can not install WAS4.0.1 on the
German version of Redhat V7.2.

Steps to Create the Problem:
1. Install the German version of RedHat 7.2 Pro.
2. Install DB2 and create WAS database.
3. Install was 4.0.1 for German locale
   Customer can not install PTF2 (German) either.
Problem description:
When the Application Server Destination Directory and IHS
Destination Directory has been displayed, Click Next.
The following German message has been displayed as below:
"Datei nicht".
Note:
After changing the locale from de_DE to en_US. The
Installation of WAS4.0.2 is successfully.
Additional notes from Davene M. "GVT Test Lab 500):
She discovered that the problem is in the German
properties file. What she did was copy the English
properties files over the German properties files to see
what would happen.  The installation worked! The
TextBundle.properties and MessageBundle.properties were
the files we copied so this is where the problem is.
Mainly, that it cannot be the PII alone that is causing the
problem because the same PII is used on SUSe, and there is
no problem there. It has to be a combination of the Red
Hat 7.2 system and possibly the special German characters.
When she went back to her SUSe machine and installed
WAS 4.0.1 on it and did not have any problems at all.

****************************************************************
There was a problem on RedHat Linux 7.2 in the
TextBundle.properties for German translation.
During base 4.0.1 install process, the space-checking
function caused the installation to halt with "Datei nicht"
as the message.  Turning the prereq.properties flag for
space checking off (to zero) and installing using
this new file allows the install work properly in German.
Future full installs of the product will not exhibit
this problem because of a redesign of the installation process.
