#### Note :

In 11.1.0.1 versions, Agent installation is not possible in GUI mode.

when we try the same in Other platforms of 11.1.0.1 version, OUI will warn that the GUI-based OUI is not a valid option for the 11.1.0.1 Agent installation.

In Linux Platforms, there is a internal BUG due to which this message is not being displayed to user and emnoseed.rsp file doesnot exists error occurs.
