Re: The new IBM Installation Manager

[Wai Hung Kevin Lau <whkevinlau@xxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,

I just tried again.  The following is the information shown in Update Package screen.

IBM Software Development Platform
     Shared Resources Directory: C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70Shared
    Installation Directory: C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70
    Eclipse IDE: C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70
Installed Packages and Fixes
    IBM® WebSphere® Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for iSeries® 7.0.0.4


Then, I tried to upgrade.  I got the follow message.
    No updates or fixes were found for the packages that are installed in the selected locations.

This morning, I got error message.  Now sounds better.... 

Kevin

Also make sure that you don't already have 7.0.0.4  I had the same
problem then noticed that the version I already had was 7.0.0.4
(Update Packages screen, under 'Installed Packages and Fixes')
