Install, com.tibco.installer.util.TIBCOInstaller, err.TIBINS202905: Error, tibco_uninversal_installer, WizardAction, An unhandled
exception occured during dependency checking.



Cause:
=====
The problem is caused by a product dependency check being performed against a product info xml file in the _installInfo directory under the selected tibco home folder which does not have the "id" attribute present in the productDef element.  (older products did not record this attribute)


Resolution:
==========
Two options for a solution:

1.  To fix this problem without upgrading the installer exe:
    
    Move the offending files out of the _installInfo folder in the selected tibco home location.  In this case, it would be the files from ActiveSpaces 1.0.


2.  We have an updated universal installer exe (2.9.5 v1) which addresses the problem and can be used to install BWAS plugin.
