Error description
The installation (new or upgrade) of the IBM Spectrum Protect client versions 8.1.12.0 or 7.1.8.11 triggers some ownership / permissions changes of C:\IBM subtree. If there are other IBM products installed which need access to the same subtree, that may cause permission problems with these other IBM products. In the client installation log file we can see these lines showing the changes made: MSI (s) (AC:0C) [07:03:43:459]: Doing action: ResetPermission Aktion beendet um 7:03:43: WebServiceCheckAndStop.
