Hello,
I am trying to install ASE 16 on AIX on PowerPC_POWER7 Processor. The installation starts and creates some directories but abruptly stops. It shows installation completed with errors. Here is a brief log of what happens:

The installation was finished, but some errors occurred during the install.

The errors it shows during installation are below. Except for them there don't seem to be any other errors. The directories & files for these error modules do exist but the option to configure the ASE Server, setup all databases doesn't appear:

The machine has 8Gb of RAM. I have attached the full log file. If anyone needs any other inputs kindly let me know but I am baffled what is the reason for the failure of the installation. Any help is appreciated.
