Ok, I found it out myself:

First there was some more files and folders required:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 pdmadmin pdmadm 43 Nov 20 12:24 setup.sh

-rwxr-xr-x 1 pdmadmin pdmadm 33 Nov 20 12:24 setup.bat

drwxr-xr-x 5 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 29 15:50 PTC_Solution_Installer_10.2

drwxr-xr-x 3 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 29 15:59 PTC_Windchill_10.2_Index_Search

drwxr-xr-x 4 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 29 16:02 PTC_Windchill_10.2_Service_Pack

drwxr-xr-x 7 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 29 16:03 PTC_Windchill_10.2_Third_Party_Software

drwxr-xr-x 8 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 29 16:10 PTC_Windchill_10.2_Workgroup_Managers

drwxr-xr-x 4 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 30 15:45 MED-60703-CD-102_M020

drwxr-xr-x 3 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 30 15:46 MED-60171-CD-102_F000

drwxr-xr-x 3 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 30 15:48 MED-60418-CD-102_F000

drwxr-xr-x 3 pdmadmin pdmadm 4096 Jan 30 15:48 MED-60800-CD-102_M020

Then the connection to any previous installations are stored under the home directory for the user

First you need to locate the folder for the current installation:

[pdmadmin@wc102-m020 instreg]$ pwd

/ptc/PSI/installer/instreg

[pdmadmin@wc102-m020 instreg]$ ls

CommonCore.jar gnu-getopt.jar ii-405075bc.146a347ac80.-8000 psiedit.jar

Then you need to edit the below file:

Move to:

/home/pdmadmin/.ptc/windchill

In this folder there should be a file:

psi_iir_index.xml

It needs to contain below info:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE InstallInstances [

<!ELEMENT InstallInstances (Instance*)>

<!ELEMENT Instance EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST Instance id CDATA #REQUIRED>

<!ATTLIST Instance location CDATA #REQUIRED>

</InstallInstances>

When that is setup the installer will locate the current installation.

Not sure why the file was missing though but that is another question.

Now it fails with below exception instead:
