Question
After updating the IBM Installation Manager to 1.9.1 ( com.ibm.cic.agent_1.9.1001.20191112_1525) when I attempt to install WebSphere products (such as the IBM HTTP Server) using the IM Graphical User Interface the following error occurs:
Exception caught while evaluating expression in bundle "com.ibm.ws.osprereq.check.v90".
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.ibm.ws.pak.internal.utils.SimpleXMLParser
com.ibm.ws.osprereq.check.v90.OSPrereq.initXMLParser(OSPrereq.java:255)
com.ibm.ws.osprereq.check.v90.OSPrereq.getInstance(OSPrereq.java:68)
com.ibm.ws.osprereq.check.v90.OSPrereqSelector.evaluate(OSPrereqSelector.java:59)
com.ibm.cic.common.core.model.internal.SelectionExpression$WithBundle.evaluate(SelectionExpression.java:249)
com.ibm.cic.common.core.model.internal.SelectionOperator$AndOp.execute(SelectionOperator.java:154)
... continues
This worked at the previous version of IM and the repositories from which I am trying to install are verified good since I can install from them on a different server using a different instance of IM.
Why am I now seeing this error ?

Answer
The reason the error is occurring is because the launcher (<IM_HOME>/eclipse/launcher.exe(sh)) is being used to start the IBM Installation Manager GUI.
The launcher has been deprecated and should not be used.
To resolve the issue you will need to start the IBM Installation Manager GUI using the IBMIM command (<IM_HOME>/eclipse/IBMIM.exe(sh))

Doing so will prevent the error from occurring and allow the WebSphere products to be installed.
