    The Update Installer for V5.0 does not have a maintenance directory.
    It uses fixpacks and fixes as the location of the unpacked files.

    Customers must be at V6.1.0.0 or newer of the Update Installer. 
    This can be checked by reviewing the level of the Update Installer in file <was_root>/updateinstaller/version.txt.

  1) Copy 6.0.2.0-WS-XD-IFPK41289.pak file directly to the maintenance directory

  2) Shutdown WebSphere
     Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from
     the WebSphere instance that maintenance is being applied to.

  3) Launch Update Installer

  4) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to update.

  5) Select the "Install maintenance package" operation.

  6) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to install (6.0.2.0-WS-XD-IFPK41289.pak file which was copied
     in the maintenance directory).
     The V5.0 and V5.1 fix packs and fixes are unpacked as .jar files and should be unpacked into fixpacks or fixes directory.

  7) Install the maintenance package.

  8) Manually execute "iscdeploy.bat -restore" in Windows or "./iscdeploy.sh -restore" in Unix from
     the WebSphere instance that maintenance is installed.
