Re: Lansa AS2 and Spooled Files -- install -- now compared to QU2 install

A product created in conjunction with the OS would generally not require any PTFs to enable the product [installation]. The QU2 product obviously was created for V5R4 after the release was available. It is only natural that some fixes might be pre-requisite. In this case the QU2 required enhanced function that was not yet externalized as public interfaces. I am not sure if or what PTFs were required as pre-req to the _install itself_, but surely there were PTFs that were required to _enable some functionality_ of the product run-time.
In my case, where I forgot to apply the PTF, the install went fine; a few minutes of RSTLICPGM activity, nothing more, no errors with install. My only problem was trying to start the server when the missing PTFs were not yet applied; and the instructions were very clear that they were pre-requisite, so it was rather daft of me to have spent so much time on one installation solely for having assumed I was smarter than the 'puter.

As I recall the difficulties Lukas is having are National Language Support [NLS] issues, and they are generally unrelated to the install; i.e. they are run-time issues. As browser-based, I such issues would be client [setup] related, that the QU2 client processing would be aware of, only at run-time; i.e. the install is on the server.

So it should be clear the QU2 installation is nothing that should be compared with the install offshoot from the original topic thread. If there are functional issues worth calling out, whether with the install or the product itself, please do so. But it is unnecessary to seemingly try to kill QU2 in its infancy, by giving it an undeserved bad reputation, by implying it is horribly difficult to install.
