IBM PC730/PC750 - Reinstallation of QAPlus/2 fails
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
Reinstalling QAPlus/2 on a PC 700 Series 6877 or 6887 preloaded with OS/2 WARP Connect may fail with error messages preventing the installation process.
Problem Isolation Guidance:
QAPlus/2 is read-only after installation on the hardfile. The Installation program on the RTC (Ready to Configure) CD which ships with the system tries to overwrite the existing QAPlus/2 file when the user attempts to reinstall the package.
Fix:
- Change to the directory on the hardfile where QAPlus/2 is located (CD\QAPLUS2).
- Enter "ATTRIB -R QAPLUS2.PKG"
This removes the read-only attribute from the QAPLUS2.PKG file and allows the user to reinstall the complete package. This command must be used anytime the user needs to reinstall the QAPlus/2 package.
QAPlus/2 is a trademark of DiagSoft, Inc.
