Cause

Not enough storage is available for proper installation script processing. 

Resolution

The TSO REGION SIZE of the user logon (from which the Vantage Web UI is being installed) was increased to 1024 MB.  It is recommended that this size be at least 1024 MB, and also that the USS system MAXFILEPROC limit be set to 64000 or higher.
