X Window System Server Update for OS/2 TCP/IP 2.0
PMX APAR PN83992
1996 May 8
APAR PN83992 Problem Description Summary:
When installing PMX UN87312 CSD or the PMX Product Refresh
on a version of OS/2 WARP which has an unknown SYSLEVEL.TCP
the following OS/2 pop-up happens:
Window Title: System Error -- TCP/IP 2.0 Installation
SYS3175
A program in this session encountered a problem and cannot
continue.
There is a more detailed problem description following the
fix instructions.
APAR PN83992 Fix instructions:
One new file, PMXXT.EXE, is provided as a fix for this APAR.
PMXXT.EXE is *not* a self-extracting ZIP file.
This new PMXXT.EXE should replace a file of the same
name which resides on Diskette 1 of either PMX CSD UN87312 or
the PMX Product Refresh.
The bad PMXXT.EXE has a filesize of 82304 bytes and a timestamp
of '2-21-96 1:42p'.
To fix a diskette install of PMX CSD UN87312 or the PMX Product Refresh:
1. Make the Diskette 1 writable and place in drive A:
2. Enter an OS/2 command: "dir A:\PMXXT.EXE" in order to verify
that you will be overwriting the bad PMXXT.EXE; the "dir" output
should be similar to this:
PMXXT EXE 82304 2-21-96 1:42p
3. Copy your new PMXXT.EXE onto Diskette 1: "copy PMXXT.EXE A:\"
4. You can now proceed to install the PMX CSD UN83712 or
the PMX Product Refresh by entering "A:TCPINST".
To fix a hard disk install of PMX CSD UN87312 or the PMX Product Refresh:
1. You must have WRITE athority to the directory where the
PMX CSD UN87312 or PMX Product Refresh installation files reside.
Use an OS/2 Command window to enter into this directory, eg.
"e:"
"cd \pmxinstl"
2. Enter an OS/2 command: "dir PMXXT.EXE" in order to verify
that you will be overwriting the bad PMXXT.EXE; the "dir" output
should be similar to this:
PMXXT EXE 82304 2-21-96 1:42p
3. Copy your new PMXXT.EXE into this directory, eg:
"copy e:\PN83992\PMXXT.EXE PMXXT.EXE"
4. You can now proceed to install the PMX CSD UN83712 or
the PMX Product Refresh by entering "TCPINST".
WARNING: This version of PMXXT.EXE will only work with
CSD UN87312 or the PMX Product Refresh. Do not attempt to
use it with the original PMX Product diskettes or
any PMX CSD prior to UN87312.
APAR PN83992 Problem Description Details:
When installing PMX UN87312 CSD on an unknown SYSLEVEL.TCP
the following OS/2 pop-up happens:
Window Title: System Error -- TCP/IP 2.0 Installation
SYS3175
A program in this session encountered a problem and cannot
continue.
If you display register information you get the following:
SYS3175
A program generated an access violation at 00011ed9.
PMXXT.EXE 0001:00001ed9
P1=00000001 P2=00000068 P3=XXXXXXXX P4=XXXXXXXX
EAX=00000000 EBX=00000008 ECX=00000000 EDX=00000000
ESI=00000000 EDI=000500bc
DS=0053 DSACC=d0f3 DSLIM=1bffffff
ES=0053 ESACC=d0f3 ESLIM=1bffffff
FS=150b FSACC=00f3 DSLIM=00000030
GS=0000 GSACC=**** GSLIM=********
CS:EIP=005b:00011ed9 CSACC=d0df CSLIM=1bffffff
SS:ESP=0053:000664b4 SSACC=d03f SSLIM=1bffffff
EBP=00066800 FLG=00012246
When you "end the program", TCPINST displays the following:
Window Title: "Warning"
The EXIT for CSD UN87312 PMX Kit gave a bad return code(5).
Continue with installation?
This problem occurs when PMXXT.EXE locates and checks the
SYSLEVEL.TCP. If the SYSLEVEL.TCP compid is not in this
list
TCP_20_COMPID 562208600
TCP_30_COMPID 562281300
TCP_31_COMPID 562259100
then a default action takes place... the code in the default
case causes PMXXT.EXE to trap. This problem was not found
during PMX CSD testing because all test systems contained one
of the expected versions of TCP/IP.
Since the PMX Refresh installation code contains the same
PMXXT.EXE install exit, we can anticipate the same trap
occurring when customers try to install the Refresh on these
systems.
