I believe the reasons for this "Perfect World" situations is many. My
exposure to it happened to be a licencing dispute with the CD I was trying
to install. I got around that. I do know that after a couple of attempts I
cleared out everything on the hard drive that had anything to do with our
beloved MQSeries and started the install again from scratch. This time after
the rollback the only directory left standing was a licence directory with
one text file in it. Hummm, "Watson" I said, what do you think this means.
To which Sherlock replied "Go west young man" So that I did. I set the date
back on my machine and was able to install until I got a new version of the
MQ CD!! Like I said I believe I had hit one of many reasons for this event.
