Re: 8.0.0.3 Install fails - and roasts RDP completely

I think I'll be sticking with the basic RDP 8 for a while unless someone has some ideas about this.

This afternoon I tried to install the .3 fixpack and it failed towards the end with a whole bunch of log messages about being unable to create certain files. Annoying as this was it wasn't half as annoying as subsequently finding out that RDP will not now load at all. I get an Eclipse message telling me that there is no JVM in ...IBM\SDP\jdk\jre\bin\javaw.exe - so it appears that it had all the authority needed to wipe out the old files but somehow not enough to put the dang new versions back!

This is on WIndows 7 - anyone seen this before? I am the administrator and am signed on as such.

I loaded a completely new version of RDP - which again ran fine until I foolishly tried the update again!

Tried to clean up the old directories and cannot do so. If I try to take ownership of the C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\jdk\jre\bin folder so that I can delete it I get told that the present owner cannot be determined and to try to take ownership. That attempt fails too even though I am an administrator. Up until now I have quite liked Windows 7 - but I'm going off it really quickly!

Any ideas anyone?
