Re: WDSC and a patch for Windows 7?

["Rettig, Roger" <roger.rettig@xxxxxxxx>]

I was able to install WDSC V7 on windows 7 following the procedures outlined
on this page:

http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/SLKBase.nsf/1ac66549a21402188625680b0002037e/d8897a08c73f4f1986257700004a492d?OpenDocument

There is a cleanup procedure, it you have an unsuccessful install.  You will
need to download a 1.4 gb update file.  You will link to this file during
the install process.
We are on V5R4.
