2. Force install the base level of the C++ runtime with the -F option, using the following command:

-> installp -aFXd <location> xlC.rte xlC.aix50.rte xlC.msg.LANG.rte

where: <location> is the location of the install images


3. Apply the fix level (if required), using the following command:

-> installp -aXd <location> <fileset_to_update>

where:

<location> is the location of the install images.
<fileset> is the fileset to update.

or commit the fix level, using:

-> installp -acXd <location> <fileset>

where:

<location> is the location of the install images.
<fileset> is the fileset to update.
