Interrupted installation (AIX and Linux only)

If the package installer on an AIX® or Linux® system is unexpectedly stopped during installation, for example if you press Ctrl+C, the installation is corrupted and you cannot uninstall or reinstall the product. If you try to uninstall or reinstall you might see the message Fatal Application Error.

About this task

Note: From service refresh 8, fix pack 20 onwards, InstallAnywhere (.bin and archive.bin) packages of IBM® SDK, Java™ Technology Edition are discontinued and interim fixes (ifixes) for earlier releases also are not supported. On Linux systems, you can install the SDK from an RPM package or extractable tarballs. On AIX systems, you can continue to use the installp packages or use the extractable tarballs.
To solve this problem, delete files and reinstall, as described in the following steps.

Procedure

  1. Delete the \var\.com.zerog.registry.xml registry file.
  2. Delete the directory containing the IBM SDK installation, if it was created. The default installation directory is listed in Conventions.
  3. Run the installation program again.
