Re: Error installing 7.0

Have you copied the CDs to a network drive (or a local disk) first? If 
not, you can try re-install by copying the CDs first. This is to make sure 
it's not a media error or CD drive error. Sometimes the CD drive may be 
able to read the  first few CDs ok, then it cann't read a CD.

1. Create a tmp folder on any drive, e.g., on drive C:, create a folder 
called WDSC (or whatever name);
2. CD into WDSC, create a sub-folder  disk1  (must be disk1);
3. CD into disk1, and do a XCOPY to copy cd1 into this folder. E.g. 
          C:\WDSC\disk1>  XCOPY  Z:*.*  /s   [Enter],        where Z: is 
the CD drive.
4. Do the same for the rest of the CDs. After all down, they should have a 
folder structure like this:
      C:\WDSC\disk1
      C:\WDSC\disk2
      ... ...
      C:\WDSC\disk10   (WDSC Advanced Ed. has 10 CDs, while the standard 
ed has only 9).
5. Now CD into C:\WDSC\disk1
6. Issue the following command to begin install: 
     C:\WDSC\disk1\launchpad

Note: the CDs can be copied this way to a network server. Then everybody 
can map a drive to this server, and then begin install from the server(no 
CD required).  Any Windows PC (XP, 2000, Vista, or a W 2003 server,  etc) 
can be such a "server"; as long as a share is created on the drive that 
contains the CD image, everybody can map a drive to it.

Thanks.

[WDSCI-L] Error installing 7.0







I have run into an error installing WDSC 7.0 standard edition from a 
network drive.  I didn't find anything that sounded like this in the 
archives and haven't been able to find a support link in the documentation 
that will let me post a question.  I did find a searchable IBM site but it 
didn't turn anything up.  If anyone has experienced this and has a 
resolution, or can point me to a support site I can post to that would be 
great.

Error I'm seeing:
"Error installing IBM® WebSphere® Development Studio Client for iSeries® 
  Error during "install" phase:
    Artifact 'zip base.v61.stub.api 6.1.0.20061006' not found in 
C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70Shared."

From the log file:

Error during "install" phase:
Artifact 'zip base.v61.stub.api 6.1.0.20061006' not found in C:\Program
