This is deadly serious.
It is incredible the number of threads concerning installation problems.

I have also been campaiging for an upgrade from V5.1. As I am the only user
I realize that this is just not possible.
I have just been given the go ahead to train the rest of the team and teach
them all I know. When we are all operationnal together, the argument for
upgrading will have more weight.

I am afraid that these apparent nightmares in the installation process will
put an end to the use of WDSc in our company. We are currently about 20
developers. It's no easy decision to install WDSc on each PC. From the
administrator's point of view, why waste all that time when PDM works ?

What can we do to ensure (when the time comes ) that the thing installs
correctly?

Subject: [WDSCI-L] installing v6



After campaigning vigorously for a couple of years I finally got
management to accept the idea of giving WDSCI to all the programmers.
The install was a nightmare.  It was impossible to install from the cds,
even in safe mode.  It was impossible to install from disc images in the
IFS.  It was impossible to install from disc images on the local hard
drive. The only thing that worked was disc images on a portable USB hard
drive.  Needless to say it didn't make a very good impression on anyone.
It was about 3 months ago and I can't remember the specific error--just
like an end user <g>--but it failed with the same one for everybody in
each of the modes that didn't work.
