Workaround: None.

427275 Installing an ESD overlay with Unified Agent.

The ESD overlay installation file does not replace the Unified Agent ARL.xml file. As a result, developer updates or changes to ARL.xml are not available because it has not been updated.

Workaround: Rename the old ARL.xmlbefore you run the installer.
