Speaking of the "topic of the day", I thought I would install the ISC,
just to see what the fuss is all about (I use TSMManager for pretty much
everything TSM wise).  Especially since I just upgraded my test TSM
server.

I have now tried *FOUR* times to install this wonderful product, only to
fail each time.

After wandering through the /Program Files/IBM/ISC/log.txt file (per the
error message) and then following the bouncing-ball to the
*:\...\Temp\ISCRuntimeInstall.log file (filled with Java jibberish), I
find the error message:

WizardException: (error code = 200; message="C:\Program
Files\IBM\ISC\PortalServer\config\wpconfig.properties (The system cannot
find the path specified)"; exception = [ServiceException: (error code =
200; message = "C:\Program
Files\IBM\ISC\PortalServer\config\wpconfig.properties (The system cannot
find the path specified)"; severity = 0; exception =
[java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program
Files\IBM\ISC\PortalServer\config\wpconfig.properties (The system cannot
find the path specified)])])

I installed the latest JAVA (after the first two failed attempts).

I have completely deleted the ISC and TEMP directories before each attempt
(after the first failure, the second attempt told me that ISC was already
installed, when it had not finished).

I have disabled all firewalls, blockers, etc.

The system is W2K. There is 8GB free disk space and 1GB of RAM !


So, can someone tell me how to resolve this ?
