Closed as program error.
Error description
When I put a wrong installation path for fix pack (install with console mode), the installation continues and shows successful. Only when I check the log file, then I know the installation is failed. It is different when we install using GUI mode, where there is a checking for netcool components on the directory we specified. If the directory contains no netcool components, the error message will appear. This can cause misleading info to user when it is showing successful but it is not.
