Info: Damaged EPFIS.INI file

if you ever try to upgrade something you have, or try to uninstall it; and you find that 
your program is NOT listed in the list that OS/2 gives you, it means that
your /os2/system/epfis.ini file has been damaged.

Since this file is in standard INI format, you can use a tool like INIMAINT to edit it. 
If you were trying to update a product, look at the installation directory of that 
product, you will find some file ending in *.ICF  ... examine the file, find the values 
that that the installation program is trying to find such as name and product number. 
Edit your EPFIS.INI to match these values. perhaps by duplicating something else 
first. If done right, the next attempt at installing the upgrade will list your application 
amongst them, and it will install perfectly.  

I just did that for DB2 :)
