Exception in log
Cause:

An installer issue that can be ignored.
Resolution:
========
Information from Tibco Installer team:
"The exception is created by the non-fatal error that occurred right before it. It is placed in the log to aid in debugging and troubleshooting. The same applies to the 'failed to delete' messages. The installer is trying to clean up directories that may have been placed there by older installer versions and if they are not present, it puts these messages in the log file. In both cases, these do not affect the installation itself, which appears to have completed successfully."
