Update on my failed install of Lotus Quickr 8.0 Services on WebSphere Portal

No, I have not yet solved my failed install issue! I thought I was onto something with resolving the issue when I read the IBM technote titled Restrictions on ID that is used to install Lotus Quickr. The technote is about a scenario where the install fails during the database create step and this is precisely where my install seems to fail, though I did not see the exact error message mentioned in that technote. Anyways, I figured it was worth a shot – so instead of installing with a Windows user named admin, I tried with another Windows user named LocalQuickr but had the exact same failure yet again -
