It looks like it's having a problem writing to the VPD! Do you have permissions to write to the home directory?
Look in the Home dir and see if there is an ./InstallShield directory there, I do not know if you have installed other products with MP, but if you have, you can try to move the IS directory so IS_bak and try rerunning!
Or - you can try putting the VPD somewhere else using the '-vpd /new/location'
Let me know if this helps!

Tom
