16.10 OES Installation Fails Due to Encrypted OES Media URL in the autoinst.xml File

The autoinst.xml file generated on an OES server that is subscribed to the NCC channel will have the OES media URL in an encrypted form. An OES installation with that XML file will fail with the following error: “failed to add add-on product.”

To resolve this issue, replace the OES media URL with the actual installation source path and retry the installation.
