Resolution
Here are the steps to work around this issue and install a hotfix on an SP-6 instance:
- Download a Liferay Bundle SP-5 or lower, but never use an SP-6 bundle
- Download Fixpack 17
- Add Fixpack 17 and liferay-hotfix-xxxx-7210.zip into the patching-tool/patches folder of the SP5 bundle
- Open the command prompt of the patching-tool folder.
- Type in "./patching-tool info" to make sure that the patch is found in the folder
- Type in "./patching-tool install" to install the patch and follow any instructions from the patching-tool to complete the installation.
- Delete the osgi/state, tomcat/temp and tomcat/work folders, if they exist in your Liferay Home directory.
- Restart server.
Alternatively, you could also update it to Service Pack 7.
