TIBCO BusinessWorks 5.11 silent mode installation fails due to dependency check on Designer even though TRA 5.8 has been installed

Environment:
===========
TIBCO BusinessWorks 5.11
TIBCO TRA 5.8
  
Symptoms:
========
TIBCO BusinessWorks 5.11 installation fails with the following message in the installation log:

-----------------------------------------------------------
TIBINS212908: Warning, tibco_uninversal_installer, ,     DEPENDENCY CHECK FAILED:
The installation feature, AMBW Designtime, has failed an internal dependency check.
TIBCO Designer (5.8.0.0) or above is required and could not be located in the current TIBCO Home directory.
Please choose one of the following options., Option selected = Exit Installation(0)
-----------------------------------------------------------

Cause:
=====

This happens if you try to install TRA 5.8 using a silent file from TRA 5.7.1. The silent file in TRA 5.7.1  did not have te correct feature name for Designer:

**************************
<!-- TIBCO Designer -->
<entry key="feature_Runtime_designer">true</entry>
<entry key="feature_Documentation_designer">true</entry>
**************************


Resolution:
==========

This issue won't be seen if you install TRA 5.8 using the silent file from TRA 5.8 (or 5.7.2 and above). If using silent file from TRA 5.7.1 then make the following changes to feature name:

**************************
<!-- TIBCO Designer -->

<entry key="feature_Runtime_Designer">false</entry>

<entry key="feature_Documentation_Designer">false</entry>
**************************

Note: The upper-case D in "Designer".

Once you install TRA 5.8 using the correct silent file, BW 5.11 installation should be  successful.
