Uninstall problems in Solaris

[InfrISUser]

I am using ISMP 11.5 with jre 1.5. Trying to install on Solaris9 as root user.

Installation of application in Solaris works fine. pkginfo lists all the installed packages.

Running the uninstaller removes the application and gives uninstall sucessfull message, but the pkginfo still lists all installed packages.

In the debug info, I get this error while uninstall

Does anyone encountered this issue ?

Any pointers to the fix ?

Possibly a bad vpd.

Go to this location and rename the Gen1 folder:
$J(user.home)/InstallShield/Universal/common

Reinstall the project, this will recreate the Gen1 folder. Then uninstall and see if you get the same behavior.
