Creating a log file when you install or uninstall WebSphere MQ
WebSphere MQ for Windows is installed using the Microsoft Installer (MSI).
If you install the MQ server or client through launchpad, MQPARMS or setup.exe, then a log file is automatically generated in %temp% during installation. Alternatively you can supply parameters on the installation MSI command msiexec to generate a log file, or enable MSI logging system-wide (which generates MSI logs for all install and uninstall operations).
If you uninstall through the Windows Add/Remove programs option, no log file is generated. You should either uninstall from the MSI command line and supply parameters to generate a log file, or enable MSI logging system-wide (which generates MSI logs for all install and uninstall operations).
For details on how to enable MSI logging, see the following article in the WebSphere MQ product documentation: Advanced installation using msiexec
For details on how to enable system-wide logging, see the following article on the Microsoft Support site: How to enable Windows Installer logging

Location of MQ install and uninstall logs
MQ installation or uninstallation logs are
created under the path %temp%. You can get to your user Temp directory
by entering the following command at the command prompt:
cd %TEMP%
cd %TEMP%
- If you use Add/Remove programs to uninstall MQ and system-wide MSI logging is enabled, a log file is generated called MSI*.LOG.
- If you use launchpad to install MQ, check the file MQv7_Install_YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SS.log in your user Temp folder, where:
YYYY-MM-DD
This is the year, month and day on which MQ Version 7 was installed.
HH-MM-SS
This is the time at which MQ Version 7 was installed.
Example: MQv7_Install_2013-07-15T22-05-07.log - If you use the msiexec command to install WebSphere MQ, use the /l*v option to create a log file. For example:
msiexec /i path\MSI\IBM WebSphere MQ.msi /l*v c:\install.log /q TRANSFORMS=:InstanceId2.mst;1033.mst AGREETOLICENSE=yes ADDLOCAL=Server MSINEWINSTANCE=1
Where /l*v c:\install.log writes the installation log to file c:\install.log - If you use the msiexec command to uninstall WebSphere MQ, use the /l*v option to create a log file. For example:
msiexec /i {product_code} /l*v "c:\removal.log" /q USEINI="response_file" INSTALLATIONNAME="installation_name"
where /l*v "c:\removal.log" writes the uninstallation log to file c:\removal.log - If you use the Prepare WebSphere MQ wizard, a log file amqmjpse.txt is created in the MQ data files folder (by default, c:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ). This is an application log that contains English messages written during installation by the Prepare WebSphere MQ wizard.
- If you install a WebSphere MQ Fix Pack, a log file amqicsdn.txt is created under the path
How to debug MQ install logs
1) If an error occurs while installing MQ through launchpad,
the error is displayed in the error window. You should immediately make
a note of the error number reported in the error window.
2) Review the install logs starting from the end of the file. Because errors often cause the install process to end, they are usually logged at the end of the log file. Locate the error reported in the error window. In this example the error number is 1713. Find the line in your install log that refers to this error. For example:
Error 1713. IBM WebSphere MQ cannot install one of its required products. Contact your technical support group. System Error: 1605.
3) Locate the action started just before the error, in the following example “iwiUninstall32bitComponentsVista” is the custom action that has been started just before the 1713 error.
2) Review the install logs starting from the end of the file. Because errors often cause the install process to end, they are usually logged at the end of the log file. Locate the error reported in the error window. In this example the error number is 1713. Find the line in your install log that refers to this error. For example:
Error 1713. IBM WebSphere MQ cannot install one of its required products. Contact your technical support group. System Error: 1605.
3) Locate the action started just before the error, in the following example “iwiUninstall32bitComponentsVista” is the custom action that has been started just before the 1713 error.
- Action start 20:40:36:
iwiUninstall32bitComponentsVista.
MSI (s) (54:30) [20:40:36:955]: Warning: Local cached package 'C:\windows\Installer\383fd2b.msi' is missing.
MSI (s) (54:48) [20:40:36:956]: Note: 1: 1713 2: IBM WebSphere MQ 3: 1605
…
Action ended 20:40:46: iwiUninstall32bitComponentsVista. Return value 3.
4) The errors are not always reported from a custom action. They might come from a standard action, or from some other event such as writing to a registry, or copying a file.
5) You should also scan the logs for any line containing “***”, because most MQ specific Windows installation error messages use this prefix.
Return Values of standard and custom actions
- 0 - Action not invoked; most likely does not exist.
1 - Completed actions successfully.
2 - User terminated prematurely.
3 - Unrecoverable error occurred.
4 - Sequence suspended, to be resumed later. (When an action cannot be completed until the next computer restart, you get a return value of 4)

Common Problems
1) Problem: WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 client prior to V7.0.1.11 installation stops
Users Affected: Users of WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 clients prior to V7.0.1.11
Symptom: The WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 client fix pack installation does not begin when you click the Install button in the Installer GUI. No response is received when the install button is clicked. The installation appears to have stopped.
Cause: If any of the MQ libraries are in use while the installation is run then the installer brings up a new panel to wait for the application to terminate. However, because of an error in this function, the new panel is not made available to you.
Solution: The installer should report an error, and allow you to either continue or cancel the installation. The APAR IC89575 fixes this problem.
Note: MQ applications and the MQ services should be ended before upgrading MQ. The APAR IC89575 fix is included in Fix Pack 7.0.1.11.
2) Problem: MQ installation stops with 1603 error and the install log records 'Can't find license files directory'
Users Affected: WebSphere MQ V7.0.1, V7.1 & v7.5 client users.

Solution: Re-extract the install image and retry.
3) Problem: MQ installation stops with Error 1935
Users Affected: WebSphere MQ v7.0.1, V7.1 & v7.5 users.
Symptom: MQ installation stops while updating the Global Assembly Cache with the Microsoft VC80 ATL 32 bit libraries. Here is an extract from the install logs:
MSI (s) (18:DC) [08:54:08:801]: Product: IBM Websphere MQ 32bitSupport
-- Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly
component {97F81AF1-0E47-DC99-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}. HRESULT: 0x800736FD.

Microsoft.VC80.ATL,type="win32",version="8.0.50727.762",publicKeyToken="
1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"
Cause: The HRESULT returned by this installation is 0x800736FD, which means "An HRESULT could not be translated to a corresponding Win32 error code". This error code does not identify the exact cause of the problem.
Solution: The following actions have solved this problem for some customers:
1) Restarting the MQ installation
2) If problem persists then install MQ after rebooting the server.
If the above does not resolve the problem then please contact Microsoft.
4) Problem: Uninstallation of WebSphere MQ stops with the error 1605, and a warning similar to the following example is reported in the install or uninstall log:
Warning: Local cached package 'C:\Windows\Installer\468c9631.msi' is missing.
Note: The name of the msi file need not be 468c9631.msi, it could be different.
Users Affected: All users of WebSphere MQ on Windows platform who try to uninstall MQ when the 32-bit runtime support is not installed on the system. This problem occurs for both MQ Server, and MQ client (7.0.1.7 or earlier clients) installations. This problem also occurs while uninstalling MQ as part of an upgrade.
Symptom: Here is an extract from the install logs:
Action start 11:03:19: iwiUninstall32bitComponentsVista. MSI (s) (94:84) [11:03:19:721]: Warning: Local cached package 'C:\Windows\Installer\468c9631.msi' is missing.
MSI (s) (94:20) [11:03:19:721]: Note: 1: 1713 2: IBM WebSphere MQ 3: 1605
MSI (s) (94:20) [11:03:25:549]: Product: IBM WebSphere MQ – Error 1713.IBM WebSphere MQ cannot install one of its required products. Contact your technical support group. System Error: 1605.
Cause: The installer attempted to remove the 32-bit runtime when it was not installed on the system, or when the IBM WebSphere MQ for 32 bit Windows MSI file is missing.
Solution: The install sequence of the MQ installer can be modified using Microsoft ORCA utility. Refer to this Microsoft article for more details on this utility: How to use the Orca database editor to edit Windows Installer files.
Windows installer stores the msi files in C:\Windows\Installer when the product is installed in the machine. The title of the msi files can be used to identify the product associated with the msi file.
To view the 'Title' and 'Comments' column, right click on the Windows Explorer title bar and select the columns that you want to view:
1) Use Windows Explorer to open the C:\Windows\Installer folder
2) Switch to the detailed view, and add "Comments" and "Title" columns to the view.
The file you need to open in the ORCA GUI has "WebSphere MQ Client MSI database" or "WebSphere MQ MSI database" as the comment. Use the Microsoft ORCA utility to open the MSI database file:
1) There will probably be one or more .msi files as shown in the above image. Use ORCA to open the msi file with the title "IBM WebSphere MQ for Windows, Version 7.0".
2) Select InstallExecuteSequence in the Tables section of ORCA.
3) Select iwiUninstall32bitComponentsVista in the Action column.
Note: Choose the respective custom action to be edited in ORCA, based on the custom action logged in the install or uninstall log.
Example: Edit iwiUninstall32bitComponentsVista, if the upgrade/uninstall has stopped while executing iwiUninstall32bitComponentsVista custom action
4) The default value of this Condition is :
(REMOVE="ALL") and Installed and (VersionNT >= 600)
5) Remove the above line and replace it with a zero - "0".
6) Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 for each of the following actions:
iwiUninstall64bitComponentsVista,
iwiUninstall32bitComponentsNonVista
iwiUninstall64bitComponentsNonVista
7) Save the changes to the WebSphere MQ MSI database file.
After completing the previous steps, retry the WebSphere MQ installation. If the problem persists, then contact the WebSphere MQ support team.
Note: APAR IC78398 fixes the WebSphere MQ windows installer code so that the uninstall continues even when the 32-bit runtime support is not installed on the system. This APAR fix is only available for client installations starting from 7.0.1.8. For the server installation the fix will be available in the next major release. If the original installation was 7.0.1.7 or earlier, the problem will still exist even if the uninstall being attempted is now from a later release such as 7.0.1.8. This is because the msi files are cached within the original install.
5) Problem: Upgrading from the trial version to the production version of MQ stops with AMQ7121 error.
Users Affected: WebSphere MQ v7.0.1, V7.1 & v7.5 users.
Symptom: MQ error logs report an AMQ7121 error and the queue manager cannot be started.
AMQ7121: The trial period for this copy of WebSphere MQ has now expired
Cause: Converting Trial version to Production version of MQ did not succeed.
Solution: Ensure you have purchased a valid license for WebSphere MQ from your IBM sales representative.
Refer to the following technote for further details: Upgrade the MQ trial version to a production version
1) Run the following command from MQ bin directory.
setmqprd amqpcert.lic
2) If it still does not succeed, restart the WebSphere MQ service after rebooting the server.
Note: If you notice the error 'AMQ7155: License file not found or not valid', then check if the file amqtcert.lic is present in MQ bin directory. If it is present then delete this file and retest.
6) Problem: Installing MQ v7.0.1 stops with 1316 error.
Users Affected: Users installing MQ v7.0.1. This problem occurs for both MQ Server, and MQ client only installations.
Symptom: Here is an extract from the install logs:
Product: D:\download\UIP\IBMMQClient\mqc7_7.0.1.1_win\Windows\MSI\x86\IBM
Websphere MQ 32bitSupport.msi
MSI (s) (5C:F4) [14:57:48:941]: Determined that existing product (either this product or the product being upgraded with a patch) is installed per-machine.

D:\download\UIP\IBMMQClient\mqc7_7.0.1.1_win\Windows\MSI\x86\e73e2d4.msi
Action ended 14:57:54: InstallFiles. Return value 3.
Cause: 32 bit C runtime support is already installed in the machine as part of some other product.
Solution: Either remove the existing 32bit C runtime, or (if that is not possible) edit the install sequence of the MQ install package to remove the installation step for the 32 bit C runtime.
The install sequence of the MQ installer can be modified using Microsoft ORCA utility.
Here are the steps to edit the IBM WebSphere MQ.msi.
1) Use Microsoft ORCA , open IBM WebSphere MQ.msi from the location
\MSI
2) Select InstallExecuteSequence in the Tables section
3) Select iwiInstall32bitALLVista_dirty from Action column
4) The default value in Condition is
(Not Installed) and (VersionNT >= 600) and (IS32BITSUPPORTINSTALLED). Alter this to
(Not Installed) and (VersionNT < 600) and (Not IS32BITSUPPORTINSTALLED)
5) Save the changes made to IBM WebSphere MQ.msi.
6) Rerun the MQ V7 installation.
7) Problem: The windows service 'IBM MQSeries' is created while installing WebSphere MQ 7.1 and 7.5 clients.
Users Affected: WebSphere MQ v7.5/V7.1 client users running 7.5/7.1.0.2 or earlier.
Symptom: 'IBM MQSeries' service is listed in the Services.msc.
An attempt to start the service fails with the following error:
"Windows could not start IBM MQseries service on local computer"
"Error2:System cannot find the file specified".
Cause: IBM MQSeries service was incorrectly included in the client install
Solution: This issue is fixed through APAR IC87026.
8) Problem: MQ installation stops while installing GSKit
Users Affected: Users installing WebSphere MQ 7.0.1
Symptom: The end of the install log shows the GSKit install being launched:
17:16:42 MQCA iwiDirectInstallGskit info: Copying 'gsk7win.exe' from 'C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\gskit\' to 'C:\Users\ftv\AppData\Local\Temp\amqGSK7\'
17:16:42 MQCA iwiDirectInstallGskit info: Launching process 'cmd' '/c gsk7win.exe /f . /s 1>"C:\Users\ftv\AppData\Local\Temp\amqt0001.txt" 2>&1'; dir
'C:\Users\ftv\AppData\Local\Temp\amqGSK7'.
17:16:50 MQCA iwiDirectInstallGskit info: Launching process 'cmd' '/c setup.exe AMQWMQ70 "C:\Program Files" -SMS -s -f1"C:\Users\ftv\AppData\Local\Temp\amqGSK7\setup.iss"
1>"C:\Users\ftv\AppData\Local\Temp\amqt0001.txt" 2>&1'; dir 'C:\Users\ftv\AppData\Local\Temp\amqGSK7'.
Cause: Here are some of the known reasons for the installation stopping during GSKit install:
1) An active information center running on the machine. Workaround: Stop the information center.
2) Any javaw processes running. Workaround: Stop the existing javaw processes.
3) The user performing the install is logged on as a Power User, and not as an administrator. Workaround: Log onto the client system as Administrator.
4) AcSvc.exe, which is a driver for Wireless connectivity, can cause conflicts with the GSKit installer. Workaround: Disable the wireless connection and stop the AcSvc.exe process. This can correct the problem, and allow the installation to complete.
5) This issue has also been resolved by stopping third party applications such as Trackit and the Spirent Protocol Tester Service from Spirent.
Solution: If MQ installation stops while installing GSKit, Complete the following steps to install MQ without GSKit and then install GSKit manually.
1) Install MQ with AMQINSTALLGSKIT set to '0'. (Setting AMQINSTALLGSKIT to '0' installs MQ without GSKit.)
2) Before proceeding with the Prepare Websphere MQ Wizard, install GSKit manually according to the following substeps. Note that, for MQ V7.0.1, the MQ V7 installer unpacks the gskit installables to\gskit. "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ" is
the default MQ install directory.
2a) Unpack the GSKit.exe to a temp folder as follows:
All the files are extracted to the Destination_Path folder.
2b) Install the GSKit using the following command.
This example assumes that the Destination_Path, defined in substep (a), is "C:\Temp\gskit".
setup.exe AMQWMQ70 "C:\Program Files" -SMS -s -f1"C:\Temp\gskit\setup.iss" 1>"C:\Temp\amqt0001.txt" 2>&1'; dir 'C:\Temp\gskit'
2c) Copy the string value of 'InstallPath' at HKLM->Software->IBM->GSK7->CurrentVersion to the String value of 'GSKitPath' at the registry key HKLM->Software->IBM->MQSeries->CurrentVersion.
Note: If the system in which MQ is installed is a 64 bit machine, copy the string value of 'InstallPath' at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\GSK7\CurrentVersion to the
String value of 'GSKitPath' at the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion
3) Run the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard. Note that, in the case of Migration, the wizard schedules the migration of SSL Certificates.
Users Affected: Users of WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 clients prior to V7.0.1.11
Symptom: The WebSphere MQ V7.0.1 client fix pack installation does not begin when you click the Install button in the Installer GUI. No response is received when the install button is clicked. The installation appears to have stopped.
Cause: If any of the MQ libraries are in use while the installation is run then the installer brings up a new panel to wait for the application to terminate. However, because of an error in this function, the new panel is not made available to you.
Solution: The installer should report an error, and allow you to either continue or cancel the installation. The APAR IC89575 fixes this problem.
Note: MQ applications and the MQ services should be ended before upgrading MQ. The APAR IC89575 fix is included in Fix Pack 7.0.1.11.

6) Problem: Installing MQ v7.0.1 stops with 1316 error.
Users Affected: Users installing MQ v7.0.1. This problem occurs for both MQ Server, and MQ client only installations.
Symptom: Here is an extract from the install logs:
Product: D:\download\UIP\IBMMQClient\mqc7_7.0.1.1_win\Windows\MSI\x86\IBM
Websphere MQ 32bitSupport.msi

Action ended 14:57:54: InstallFiles. Return value 3.
Cause: 32 bit C runtime support is already installed in the machine as part of some other product.
Solution: Either remove the existing 32bit C runtime, or (if that is not possible) edit the install sequence of the MQ install package to remove the installation step for the 32 bit C runtime.
The install sequence of the MQ installer can be modified using Microsoft ORCA utility.
Here are the steps to edit the IBM WebSphere MQ.msi.
1) Use Microsoft ORCA , open IBM WebSphere MQ.msi from the location
2) Select InstallExecuteSequence in the Tables section
3) Select iwiInstall32bitALLVista_dirty from Action column
4) The default value in Condition is
(Not Installed) and (VersionNT >= 600) and (IS32BITSUPPORTINSTALLED). Alter this to
(Not Installed) and (VersionNT < 600) and (Not IS32BITSUPPORTINSTALLED)
5) Save the changes made to IBM WebSphere MQ.msi.
6) Rerun the MQ V7 installation.
7) Problem: The windows service 'IBM MQSeries' is created while installing WebSphere MQ 7.1 and 7.5 clients.
Users Affected: WebSphere MQ v7.5/V7.1 client users running 7.5/7.1.0.2 or earlier.
Symptom: 'IBM MQSeries' service is listed in the Services.msc.
An attempt to start the service fails with the following error:
"Windows could not start IBM MQseries service on local computer"
"Error2:System cannot find the file specified".
Cause: IBM MQSeries service was incorrectly included in the client install
Solution: This issue is fixed through APAR IC87026.
8) Problem: MQ installation stops while installing GSKit
Users Affected: Users installing WebSphere MQ 7.0.1
Symptom: The end of the install log shows the GSKit install being launched:
17:16:42 MQCA iwiDirectInstallGskit info: Copying 'gsk7win.exe' from 'C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\gskit\' to 'C:\Users\ftv\AppData\Local\Temp\amqGSK7\'
17:16:42 MQCA iwiDirectInstallGskit info: Launching process 'cmd' '/c gsk7win.exe /f . /s 1>"C:\Users\ftv\AppData\Local\Temp\amqt0001.txt" 2>&1'; dir
'C:\Users\ftv\AppData\Local\Temp\amqGSK7'.
17:16:50 MQCA iwiDirectInstallGskit info: Launching process 'cmd' '/c setup.exe AMQWMQ70 "C:\Program Files" -SMS -s -f1"C:\Users\ftv\AppData\Local\Temp\amqGSK7\setup.iss"
1>"C:\Users\ftv\AppData\Local\Temp\amqt0001.txt" 2>&1'; dir 'C:\Users\ftv\AppData\Local\Temp\amqGSK7'.
Cause: Here are some of the known reasons for the installation stopping during GSKit install:
1) An active information center running on the machine. Workaround: Stop the information center.
2) Any javaw processes running. Workaround: Stop the existing javaw processes.
3) The user performing the install is logged on as a Power User, and not as an administrator. Workaround: Log onto the client system as Administrator.
4) AcSvc.exe, which is a driver for Wireless connectivity, can cause conflicts with the GSKit installer. Workaround: Disable the wireless connection and stop the AcSvc.exe process. This can correct the problem, and allow the installation to complete.
5) This issue has also been resolved by stopping third party applications such as Trackit and the Spirent Protocol Tester Service from Spirent.
Solution: If MQ installation stops while installing GSKit, Complete the following steps to install MQ without GSKit and then install GSKit manually.
1) Install MQ with AMQINSTALLGSKIT set to '0'. (Setting AMQINSTALLGSKIT to '0' installs MQ without GSKit.)
2) Before proceeding with the Prepare Websphere MQ Wizard, install GSKit manually according to the following substeps. Note that, for MQ V7.0.1, the MQ V7 installer unpacks the gskit installables to
2a) Unpack the GSKit.exe to a temp folder as follows:
2b) Install the GSKit using the following command.
This example assumes that the Destination_Path, defined in substep (a), is "C:\Temp\gskit".
setup.exe AMQWMQ70 "C:\Program Files" -SMS -s -f1"C:\Temp\gskit\setup.iss" 1>"C:\Temp\amqt0001.txt" 2>&1'; dir 'C:\Temp\gskit'
2c) Copy the string value of 'InstallPath' at HKLM->Software->IBM->GSK7->CurrentVersion to the String value of 'GSKitPath' at the registry key HKLM->Software->IBM->MQSeries->CurrentVersion.
Note: If the system in which MQ is installed is a 64 bit machine, copy the string value of 'InstallPath' at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\GSK7\CurrentVersion to the
String value of 'GSKitPath' at the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion
3) Run the Prepare WebSphere MQ Wizard. Note that, in the case of Migration, the wizard schedules the migration of SSL Certificates.
