PROBLEM SUMMARY

USERS AFFECTED:
 Users who are using the centralized
installation manager to install
WebSphere Virtual Enterprise Version 6.1.1.2

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
The centralized installation manager
cannot be used to install WebSphere
Virtual Enterprise Version 6.1.1.2.

RECOMMENDATION:
 Apply the fix provided by this APAR to
place the Version 6.1.1.2 centralized
installation manager descriptor at the
proper location before using the
centralized installation manager to
install 6.1.1.2.

The required Version 6.1.1.2 centralized installation manager
descriptor files are missing from the
InstallPackageWXD611FP2.xml file. As a result, the centralized
installation manager cannot be used to install Version 6.1.1.2.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:                                             
The Version 6.1.1.2 centralized installation manager            
descriptor files are added to the proper location, and the      
centralized installation manager can be used to install         
Version 6.1.1.2.                                                
                                                                
This fix will be included in the next available fix pack for
