Maybe I'll have better luck just trying to get from 7.0 to 7.0.2............

Mark,

I upgraded to v7 on Monday. First the Software Updates in the Help menu
item crapped out three or four times before it finally finished (got
closer each time I ran it).

Then, the Installation Manager kept crashing. It, too, seemed to get a
little closer each time I ran it.

From this distance I don't recall the errors that either process
generated. I do remember that the Log files weren't any help to me
(probably would have been to a tech support person).

On the plus side. It was worth the pain (though I kept v6 "just in
case").

Has anyone ever run into a problem when trying to retrieve the latest
updates after loading V7.0?

This is a very common question. The answer is to use the IBM
Installation Manager.

The longer answer is that there are two separate updaters. The one on
the workbench is the Eclipse Platform updater (Help->Software
updates->Find and install). IBM can't get rid of this because it's the
way we add plugins from third parties like Arcad, Quantum (sp?),
Subversion, etc.

IBM built WDSC on top of Eclipse in a different way -- it's more than a
plug-in! In order to update the WDSC side of the house, you need to
fire up the IBM Installation Manager.

I know it doesn't help much, and I probably sound like a jerk for
saying
it, but it's explained in the README. It's a rare bit of software that
you can (dare I say it?) expect to install before digesting the README.

The IBM web page is http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/wdt400/
Choose Product Support (right side) then WebSphere Development Studio
Client, Version 7.0.0.2 (left side) and finally the README link near
the
top:


http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/awdtools/wdsc/v7/7002/documents/readme/readme.html
or http://preview.tinyurl.com/37palf

Section 2.2 describes how to update any previous Eclipse plugins up to
3.2.2 Section 2.4 describes how to use Installation Manager to
install
the update.

I have a very serious question. Did you look at the Midrange FAQ or
Wiki before starting the update process?
