I saw this exception: -
Unable to get property isExists of undefined or null reference
when trying to install IBM Integration Designer (IID) 8.5.5 onto a Windows 7 VM. I also saw precisely the same issue when trying to install onto a Windows 8.1 VM.
The source installation files were on a VMware shared folder, mapped to the guest Windows OS, either via a UNC path or via an old-fashioned drive letter e.g. X:
If it helps, I was using VMware Workstation on Windows 7 to host …. Windows 7 and VMware Fusion on Mac OS X to host Windows 8.1, but that's not important right now.
Long story short, this developerWorks forum thread: -
reported the same issue and, even more importantly, provided me with a solution: -
We were also receiving the error "unable to get property 'available Size' of undefined or null reference" while installing BPM. Earlier the installables were in D drive and we were trying to install it in the C drive.
We tried moving the installables to C drive, re-extracted it, installed and it was successful.

Once I copied the installation files into the VM i.e. onto the C: drive of the guest, thus avoiding shared folders, UNCs, drive X: etc., all was well.
For the record, the exception came via the Launchpad installer, which appears to wrap up Internet Explorer under the covers, most likely hence the JavaScript-style error message.
Sweet :-)
