If you are getting the following error while installing Oracle AIA 3.0 on windows XP

Traceback (innermost last):

WLSTException: Error occured while performing nmConnect : Cannot connect to
Node Manager. : I/O error while reading domain directory

Confirm the Note Manager is up by starting the Node Manager:
$HOME\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin
startnodemanager.cmd hostname port

As a confirmation the Node Manager Username and Node Manager Password are valid, start the WLST prompt by:

* Source the environment variables for WLST

o $HOME\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin\setWLSEnv.bat
o cd $HOME\Middleware\user_projects\domains\base_domain
o Now execute 'java weblogic.WLST'

* Within the WLST prompt execute "nmConnect('username','password','hostname','port','domain_name','$HOME\\Middleware\\user_projects\\domains\\base_domain')"

If username and password are correct, no errors are returned

This error is related to the name of the domain.It is tracked by Bug 10015151 in metalink.Oracle has currently provided the following solutions

# Wait for the fix for Bug 10015151
# Create a new domain that do not include an underscore, for example instead of 'domain_name' use 'domain'
# Use the Silent Installation which bypass the Node Manager prompt. Modify the file on 'cd\Disk1\misc\responseFiles\SampleAIAFP_CompleteResponse.rsp'.
