This document applies to version 3, release 1, modification 1 of IBM Installation Agent.
There are a number of new features and functions in IBM Installation Agent 3.1.1.
For more information about IBM Installation Agent and IBM Express Runtime, go to the IBM Express Runtime Web site at the following URL:
See the license directory in your installation path for product license and third-party license and notice files.
Before installing the IBM Installation Agent on a target computer, make sure that the computer meets the requirements for that operating system.
Your system must meet the following requirements:
The development issues known at the time this product was shipped are as follows:
If you run the installation from the launch pad and there is not enough temporary space on the partition, then the installation stops with no error messages. If this problem occurs, run the command setup -is:tempdir <temporary directory>, where setup is the installation executable name and <temporary directory> is the directory where you want to redirect the temporary files.
A SUSE LINUX user must log in and install the IBM Installation Agent as the root user. If you switch to root after logging in by using the su -root command and then install the IIA on SUSE LINUX, some of the files do not install correctly.
When specifying a user ID and password on an agent installation, do not specify one that contains Cyrillic characters. Specify a user ID and password that use alphanumeric characters (a-Z and 0-9). Cyrillic characters are not recognized for user name and password.
If this problem occurs on a Windows computer, a window appears with an error message.
On the Linux platform, the IBM Installation Agent menu shortcuts might also appear under the Application menu.
If you uninstall the IBM Installation Agent, you might see a message saying that the run method cannot be found. This happens when the _uninst folder remains from a previous installation.
To continue with the uninstallation, put the uninstall.jar and uninstall.dat files from your most recent _uninst folder into the _uninst folder. For example, if you have _uninst, _uninst2 and _uninst3 folders, remove the uninstall.jar and uninstall.dat files from the _uninst3 folder and place them in the _uninst folder. You should then be able to proceed with the uninstallation.
All shortcuts in IBM Installation Agent running on AIX target computers display in English regardless of the language chosen at installation time or the language or locale of the target computer.
