Re: WDSCi 7.0 on Windows 7 64-bit

Sean,

Eric is correct that you shouldn't install to Program Files on Win 7 64.
Also,
to apply updates you have to update Installation Manager. The version on
your
disks isn't new enough. You can download the latest version, 1.5.1, from
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24031048#downloads, if
you
can't get your copy to update itself. Once you have that, you can update
WDSCi
to 7.0.0.8 and it should start working correctly. I think it was 7.0.0.6
that
had the fixes required to make it work correctly on Vista, which is what it
takes to make it work with Win 7.

Sean,

On Windows7, I NEVER install to the default "programs" path. In Win7,
this a
virtualized, and all sorts of new authority checking occurs. I always
install
the rational products to a /IBM directory in root. I put everything there
(SDP,
SDP_shared, Installation manager, and workspaces).
