Troubleshooting java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error on Siebel Configuration Wizard

While trying to run Siebel Configuration Wizard (version 8.1.1.5), I've faced following error:

/siebel/siebsrvr/bin-> ./ssincfgw -args LANG=ENU MODEL_FILE=/siebel/dbsrvr/admin/dbsrvr.scm -is:javaconsole -console
InstallShield Wizard

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: run


After some research, figured out that setup.jar file was corrupt.

It can be checked by running "jar -tf" command:

/siebel/siebsrvr/bin-> jar -tf setup.jar
java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
        at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
        at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:129)
        at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:90)
        at sun.tools.jar.Main.list(Main.java:1031)
        at sun.tools.jar.Main.run(Main.java:223)
        at sun.tools.jar.Main.main(Main.java:1201)


The correct output should be:

/siebel/siebsrvr/bin-> jar -tf setup.jar
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF

To solve the problem, I've just copied setup.jar from a working environment and re-ran config command.
