Resolution

Its an issue with the CLI patching tool in the Windows environment, this issue is addressed in This content is not included.BZ-1408961 and fixed on This content is not included.EAP 6.4 CP 15, With patch apply command patch is applied successfully but it throws an exception at the end.

After applying the EAP 6.4 CP 15 users should not see the error message. As well, can confirm the JBoss EAP version through the server.log file or from the EAP Management Console.
