Re: Installation Manager missing RDP

I will admit that I have not read through this whole thread yet, however
one section of the Installation Guide for RDP is very important in this
regard. Under "User privileges required" it says something like:

For Windows Vista, you must log in to the Administrator account (or run as
Administrator; right-click the program file or shortcut and select Run as
Administrator) to perform the following tasks:
Install or update IBM Installation Manager
Install or update a product offering
Install an Authorized-User license key for your product by using IBM
Installation Manager


I would interpret "Windows Vista" to be "Windows Vista or Windows 7" ....

The Run-As-Administrator action provides some sort of token to allow
Installation Manager to update stuff correctly in the virtualized
directories such as C:\Program Files. This would pertain to running IM or
the launchpad.exe.

the RDP 8.0 products.
The RDP workbench still works fine, but I can not get the installation
manager to see it.

As long as the Installation Manager that shipped with RDP 8 is installed
first, there should be no problems at all.

I currently have WDSC 7, RDi 7.1, RDi 7.5, RDp 7.5, RDp 7.6 and RDp 8.0
installed on my workstation without any problems ... all 6 versions show
up in the installation manager and can be updated correctly.

If you're running Win 7, it's important to install both installation
manager and the applications in a directory other than the default
(C:\Program Files).
