RE: problem updating IBM i Access for Windows 7.1 to latest PTF

I got the same message when installing last week, I knew I had both VC redist X86 and X86-64 installed.
I simply rebooted, iSeries Access then installed without issue.

Correct AND it says that in the documentation BUT having made this mistake myself it certainly is easy to miss that you need the X86 version on 64 bit O/S.

Hi

Our sys admin just applied PTF SI49800 to our system, and I'm trying
to update Access on my laptop - 64-bit Win 7 Enterprise SP1.

I get this dialog box -

IBM i Access for windows 7.1 Installer Information

An update is required to continue with this install. Refer to the
following link for details and instructions:

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/i/software/access/windows/casp.html



I sort of figured this had to do with the VC++ Redistributable, and
it was - thought I'd already put on the latest, but apparently not.

I just wish that link were clickable - it's not - very unhandy!

Just ranting on a Friday!
