Re: ACS Java Exception when trying to sign in

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem was resolved by IBM support.  It seems that the old method of
just dropping the new acsbundle.jar into the directory is not sufficient
for this update.  There are DLLs in the new 1.1.9.4 that have to be updated
as well.  Specifically acsnative.dll.  There are changes there that when
absent cause the problem.

We ran the full installation and that corrected the problem.

So when updating this ACS version, the install program is a requirement.
