Hi Folks, I'm unable to install ptf's from fix central since my pc got updated
o Win7. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I've always used the
efault;
Download individual fixes directly to my system
(requires Java enabled browser)
and when I click on continue I get the download fixes box with a red X in the
pper left.
I've tried the install a few times and initially was told to install a java
pdate and after several minutes I get a msg java warning - security that I
an't expand on, when I click on the warning the screen doesn't appear.
Before I call support I figured I'd ask if anyone has had similar issues with
in7.
I've never been able to download fixes directly to the IBM i, not even
hen Windows XP was on the desktop. Could never tell if it was a Java
hing or an internal network thing, but I didn't care because I could
ownload to my PC - which has a shared drive pointing to the IBM i.
I'm on Windows 7 now, but I haven't tried a direct download to the
ystem. I use Firefox as my browser, and when I recently downloaded
R6, I got the dreaded 'Java is not secure' message. It took me several
imes to be quick enough to click the 'Run anyway' link but eventually
t worked as expected.
