AIX

If the error is:
"instal: Failed while executing the NMApplication1-AIX.Client.rte.pre_i script."

Is the script executable when installp tries to run it?
Is the enclosing directory readable?
Is the shell specified in the script actually there? E.g. /usr/bin/bash ?
Does the script return a non-zero code?
Does the script actually work?

Error message is :
/usr/lib/instl/instal[15]: NMApplication1-AIX.Client.rte.pre_i: not found.
instal: Failed while executing the NMApplication1-AIX.Client.rte.pre_i script.

I think this might be the reason. Since after I discussed this issue with the AIX SA team, he asked me to try after a few minutes and it worked. Time stamp of the bash binary shows that it was placed a couple of minutes before. I will recheck it with the SA since he has not yet replied on how this was solved...

Yep Problem was with the pre-install script having a bash shell include statement. Bash is not available by default on our AIX systems and needs to be put in seperately. after the adjustments to the pre/post install scripts were made this was resolved.
