Hi Scott,

It sounds like you've typed "install" by itself, which isn't going to do 
what you expect.

install is a utility for copying files around, typically used in 
software compilation scripts. I'm afraid this mailing list doesn't know 
anything about WebSphere 7.0 - the address you emailed is for reporting 
bugs in the "install" utility itself.

Searching Google for [ webshpere updateinstaller 7.0 manual ] suggests a 
few pages which may be useful. Alternatively, consult the people who 
supplied the software.


Cheers,
