The part of the README.INSTALL says to run the <isc_home>/_iscuninst
command, which does not exists at the point of failure.

I tried everything else, including the suggestion to get rid of
vpd.properties.

Still no difference.

Runs to about 15% (see the message that says 1-2 HOURS to install) and
then gives the message about INSTALL failing and then UNINSTALL failing
and to look at LOG.TXT.

The first line of this file says to look at the file I am already looking
at.

The second line says to go look at ISCRuntimeInstall.log in the TEMP
folder. Also says something about STACK_TRACE: 12, ProductException and
"error code = 9"

The last few lines in the log in the TEMP directory says something about:
PortalBasicConfigFail_Exit.

<heavysigh>

Re: TSM 5.3 and ISC install - won't






Zoltan and Paul,

After the failed install attempts, did you clean up the install per the
README instructions that come with the ISC? Also, take a look at the TSM
Problem Determination Guide at
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/TSMM/SC32-9103-01/en_US/HTML. Use
the "Administrator Center" section in the bottom half of the page.

If nothing works, then I would recommend contacting support for further
assistance.

Regards,

Andy

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
"Good enough" is the enemy of excellence.
