OSINUNWK - EPFIE609 OR UNPACK ERRORS INSTALLING IBM WORKS FROM
OS/2 WARP BONUSPAK

=======================================================================
EPFIE609 or Unpack Errors Installing IBM Works from
OS/2 Warp BonusPak
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
An EPFIE609 or other error message related to UNPACK is received when
trying to install IBM Works from the OS/2 Warp BonusPak.
The system also might lock up, without an error message, during the IBM
Works installation.
RESOLUTION
1. Shut down the system and insert the Installation Diskette; then
restart the system.
2. When prompted, remove the Installation Diskette and insert
Diskette 1.
3. When the Welcome screen appears, press F3 to get to a command prompt.
4. Remove Diskette 1 and insert Diskette 2; then type CHKDSK x: /F and
press Enter (x is the drive where OS/2 is installed).
Check ALL partitions for errors. The problem can be caused by damaged
extended attribute (EA) data. The UNPACK utility program produces an
error if it detects damaged EA data.
Note: Running a DOS- or Windows-based disk-defragmentation utility
program results in damaged EA data. DOS-based defragmentation
programs should never be run against OS/2 partitions. DOS is not
EA-aware and "orphans" EA data from its corresponding file,
resulting in errors.
