RE: Installing WAS 8.5 Express supplements

the IFS :/ibmi/was/w85e/
-repositories /IBMI/was/w85e/WASV85_SUPPLEMENTS

The path name may be case sensitive. Does the profile running the install have read/write access to the IFS directory?

Subject: Installing WAS 8.5 Express supplements

This is cross posted on WEB400 as well as Midrange-L since is kinda
swings to both:

I'm trying to install the supplements on a WAS 8.5 Express for IBM i
installation. The WAS server loaded as expected as did the fix pack,
but I can't get the supplements to load. I have the DVD copied on to a
directory in the IFS :/ibmi/was/w85e/* The command I used is:

From QSH:

./imcl install com.ibm.websphere.liberty.WEBENAB.v85 -repositories
/IBMI/was/w85e/WASV85_SUPPLEMENTS -installationDirectory /QIB
M/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V85/EXPRESS -properties
was.install.os400.profile.location=/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V85
/EXPRESS -sharedResourcesDirectory
/QIBM/UserData/InstallationManager/IMShared -acceptLicense

CRIMA1003E ERROR: The com.ibm.websphere.liberty.WEBENAB.v85 package
cannot be found.
CRIMA1002W WARNING: The following repositories are not connected:
-/IBMI/was/w85e/WASV85_SUPPLEMENTS

All the documentation I see says pull it from the Passport site, but
this WAS is delivered with IBM i on a DVD. Any clue what I'm doing wrong?
