Rational Product Updater 'just works' as far as I am concerned.  We 

also 

managed to download the first fixpack for version 6 and update all of 
the 
developers without downloading for hours each time. 

How did you do it, Adam? Did you use the procedure described by Mark 
Phippard?

No.  It was a while ago, but I think we downloaded the fixpack from WDSC 
website mentioned by Dave Turnridge in an earlier post.  Then we put it on 
a network drive.  I think it went something like this:

1.  Copy fixpack from network drive to the PC.
2.  Unzip
3.  Point Rational Product Updater to the policy.xml file in the directory 
that was just unzipped.
4.  Ask RPU to find updates.
5.  Accept license agreements and start update.
6.  Wait for a long time.
7.  Workbench is started with new fixes.

Note that this is from memory, and it was for 6.0.1.1 - given some time I 
might be able to give more details, I think the process is documented 
somewhere.  We'll have to do some more 6.0.1.1 -> 6.0.1.2 updates at some 
point, so I might try that method again.

HTH,
Adam
