****************************************************************
If you install WebSphere Application Server v7 through
installation manager, there is no install path validation
logic and you may install the product in an invalid path,
which can affect profile creation.

Problem conclusion

Install path validation logic is added back to WebSphere
Application Server v7 repository so that there will be an
install path check when the product is installed through
Installation Manager.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix pack 7.0.0.19.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
