Cognos 10.2.2 Customizing Portal Text - Portal.xml file

We have just upgraded from 10.2.1 to 10.2.2.  I've rebranded our cognos connection and everything seems to be working EXCEPT for the titles (i.e.; the banner should say "ABCXYZ" instead of "IBM Cognos Connection" and same on the welcome screen. 

The way we did this in 10.2.1 was to modify the "Portal_en.xml" file located in the c10\templates\ps\messages directory.  HOWEVER, in 10.2.2 i noticed that this file is missing!  It contains other "country" files but I don't see one for Portal_EN.xml.  Am i missing something?  I looked on another machine in which we have upgraded cognos to 10.2.2 and noticed the same thing.  Portal_en file is missing. 

How do we update the banner text in 10.2.2?  Please help.  Thank You.

This is of very little help but I recently did a similar upgrade.
Portal_en.xml was right there in the <installdir>\templates\ps\messages.

I did the 10.2.2 installation in to a separate directory if that matters.

Hi,

I have 10.2.2 and the portal_en.xml file is there in my instance. I just took a look, and at the top it says this:

SDK is now included with Cognos 10 BI admin licenses in 10.2.2, but it's a separate install. Have you installed it?

Meep!
