Re: determination of RDi installation location

Doug,

in the registration in position
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\Installation Manager" you have the key
"location". This is the installation location of the installation manager.

In the installation location of the installation manager you find the
folder
"\eclipse\configuration". In this folder you find the file "config.ini". In
"config.ini" you find the key "cic.appDataLocation", which contains the
path
to the application data of the installation manager.

In the path of the application data of the installation manager you find
the
file "installed.xml". This file contains all the informations you need,
including the installation path and the version of a package.

Hope this helps.

Frank

Frank,
I should have clarified...
I need to determine the install location from outside the RDi product.
We use a WISE installation routine to package the product, and the customer
just needs to execute the .exe to install.
With previous WDSc installs we could just read the registration entries to
determine what was installled and where.

Sorry,

this is better.

import org.eclipse.core.runtime.FileLocator;
import org.eclipse.core.runtime.Platform;

FileLocator.toFileURL(Platform.getInstallLocation().getURL()).getPath();

Betreff: [Wdsc-Plugin-Dev] determination of RDi installation location

In WDSc 6.x, one could determine the installation location by examining
the
registration entries.
But since 7.0, the registration entries are not written.

Is there another way to programmatically determine the installation
location
(and version)?

I want to install a links file into the proper folder structure.



Thanks
