Troubleshooting: Error encountered when you attempt a silent uninstallation of a fix pack

When you try to uninstall a fix pack by using the silent method, an error occurs and the uninstall fails.

Problem

The uninstall fails with the following message:

CWUPI0024E:  The update operation is not permitted on FP00X.pak. Either
this maintenance package is corrupted, or it has dependencies that prevent 
this maintenance package from being updated.
where X is the number of the fix pack installed.

The error occurs because the response file is incorrect.

Solution

If you encounter this error, edit your response file and ensure that you have the full name of the fix pack listed.

For example:
8.0.0-WS-WCServer-FP00X.pak
where X is the number of the fix pack installed.
