Error description
The Windows client CD or MQC7 image does not install GSKit, even through the GSKit package appears to be included with the code.
Local fix
Create local file in Windows\MSI named GSKIT_~1.cab, then install.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: All Windows client users of SSL on 7.0.0.0 Platforms affected: Windows **************************************************************** PROBLEM SUMMARY: The MQ Client images for the Microsoft Windows platform fail to install the GSKit package and hence any attempt to use SSL will subsequently fail. The client install code attempts to confirm that the GSKit package is available by checking for the file GSKIT_~1.cab, however at v7 the file included with code is GSKit.cab.
Problem conclusion
The MQ client for Windows install images have been updated to correctly install GSKit. Any installation image from 7.0.0.1 onward will include this change. As a workaround, in the Windows\MSI folder of the install image there should be a GSKit.cab file present already. To prompt the installer to install GSKit an additional file called GSKit_~1.cab needs to be available here. Create an empty file called GSKit_~1.cab in the Windows\MSI location and restart the installer. GSKit should be mentioned in the end summary panel, on completion of the install GSKit should be installed successfully, and secure connections should now be possible. --------------------------------------------------------------- The fix is targeted for delivery in the following PTFs: v7.0 Platform Fix Pack 7.0.0.1 -------- -------------------- Windows U200301 AIX U821414 HP-UX (PA-RISC) U820765 HP-UX (Itanium) U821296 Solaris (SPARC) U820766 Solaris (x86-64) U820880 iSeries tbc Linux (x86) U821407 Linux (x86-64) U821295 Linux (zSeries) U821294 Linux (Power) U820881 The latest available maintenance can be obtained from 'Websphere MQ Recommended Fixes' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006037 If the maintenance level is not yet available, information on its planned availability can be found in 'Websphere MQ Planned Maintenance Release Dates' http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=171&uid=swg27006309 ---------------------------------------------------------------
