The error derives from the fact that a component cannot install because another component does not exist. The component location is
c:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Temp\ibm_is_test_datestamp\xmeta\client\bin
The install program cannot write a new \xmeta\client\bin
because it believes there is one there already.
To resolve this you have to delete all occurrences of any previous installs. So before you run another install:
- Delete
\IBM\InformationServer
folder
- Delete entries in the registry.
- If you have Windows 7 then click on windows icon then click on Run...
- Type
regedit
which will open up the registry
- Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
then delete the \IBM
folder which will delete all the subfolders.
- Next locate
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
then delete \IBM
folder which will delete all the subfolders.
- This is optional but I restarted the server.
- This allows you to perform a complete client install.
