Reinstall error - No metadata found for installed package...

:cry:
I used the :oops: Microsoft Files and Transfer Wizard :oops: to migrate to a new computer.

I expected to have to reinstall most programs despite some registry info and Program Files & My Documents being transferred to the new computer.

Thank you,

The installer opens and if I select either the new or update options I receive the following error message.


------
An error has occurred. See the log file
C:\Documents and Settings\dcarpenter\IBM\InstallationManagerInstaller\pluginState\.metadata
-------

Apparently the installation procedure believes it should find some meta data that did not transfer from the old computer. My guess is it recognizing some artifact from the old system and believes it should have the meta data to work from.

Chris Daly gave me this response in the RTC project.

David, it looks like you are trying to clean-up and start over. I asked Powell on the IM team for instructions on this and he pointed me here:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21290142

In addition he said, "the instructions talk about backing up... none of this is required. I just rename ... Program Files/IBM/Installation Manager to a backup directory name and re-install"

Does this help? I imagine you are trying to install some RTC product. So you would want to get IM reinstalled first and then use it to install RTC.

---------
Re-Naming the Installation Manager did the trick. Apparently the MS Files and Settings Transfer Wizard move the old folder but not the associated registry information.
