Re: WAS 7.0 Express Install hangs at 30 percent

Just for the archives:

I have worked with IBM for a few weeks on this. It appears that the
root cause was the WAS Group level (S/B 10). Download and install the
Group with option 8 on the GO PTF menu.

It is possible that a PATH issue was at the root of it as well (low
likelihood though). The last item was running the CHKPRDOPT command
(which I had never heard of). Even though all the licensed program
requirements were met (all showed *INSTALLED
at the proper level) the CHKPRDOPT PRDID(*OPSYS) command showed a few
PTF's that weren't in the correct state (even though the WRKPTFGRP
showed all installed as well). In any case I followed the suggestions
that CHKPRDOPT gave.

Don't know which of the three changes indicated above was the "closer"
(I'm guessing the WAS Group PTF) but WAS Express is now running. Now to
try Rational Team Concert which was the basis for installing WAS in the
first place...

Anyone experience this? Normally I wouldn't bother with WAS but the
Rational Team Concert trial requires WAS so I decided to give it a
whirl. But the installer hangs at 30% and then doesn't move. I gave it
3 hours to continue but it never moved. I killed it, cleaned up and
restarted and it is stuck there again. I am downloading the CD's again
just to see if that is the issue but it doesn't seem likely that it is a
bad CD.

It is running configuration command 80Fos400.ijc.

I'll call IBM next but if someone already has a fix, I'll take it.

IBM i 6.1 with the latest CUME and PTF's (as far as I know).
