Problem:

WrapPack install may report that some of FixPacks failed to be applied. It is normal that some FixPacks will not be applied if the associated components (e.g Dialog System, SQL Option for DB2, etc.) are not installed, but this Knowledgebase article addresses a failure to apply FixPacks for installed components.

Resolution:

The install program (Micro Focus Web Installer) does not handle well paths with $ or %, e.g.  C:\\DOCUME~1\\$235\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\ or C:\\DOCUME~1\\#5\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\

This is a limitation in the install product, which is no longer used by Micro Focus for its new products. All new products are using Microsoft Installer (MSI), and this handles paths with $ and %.

Due to this limitation, WrapPack may fail to apply certain FixPacks if the directory where the TEMP environment variable contains $ or %.

The workaround is to point the TEMP environment variable to a directory that does not contain these two characters (e.g. c:\\temp). Make sure the directory exists or is created and re-apply the WrapPack.
