The installation of a Control-M product on Windows or Unix is failing with the message:  java.io.IOException: No such file or directory

The relevant installation logs will show errors similar to the following:

Unix / Linux Example:
  15:08:20.784 22 Action.perform[189] Performing <update> sections="false" add_file="true" permission="755" separator=" " name="/home/controlm/BMCINSTALL/uninstall/DRNFT.8.0.00/BEFORE_UNINSTALL/uninstall_bimactivation.sh" os="unix" (file:/h/bldrem/ccm_wa/install/izPack-bldrem_EM800_U_SQA/izPack/Definitions/bimactivation/m_bimactivation.xml:276)
  15:08:20.786 22 IniFileActions.createIniFile[698] Creating ini file

    at java.io.File.createNewFile(File.java:1012)

1) Manually create the uninstall directory for the relevant DR### directory.

Unix example for version 8.0.00 Control-M/Enterprise Manager:
<Control-M Home>/BMCINSTALL/uninstall/DRNFT.8.0.00/BEFORE_UNINSTALL

Windows example for version 9.0.18 Control-M Batch Impact Manager:
<Control-M Home>\Default\BMCINSTALL\uninstall\DRNFT.9.0.18\BEFORE_UNINSTALL

NOTE:  For version 9.0.18 if installing a Fix Pack such 9.0.18.100 it may be necessary to create the directory as 9.0.18 versus 9.0.18.100
Note the directory mentioned in the log and create that one even though the installation might be when a .### "Fix Pack" was directly installed.

2) Rerun the installation.
