Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I have been running Installation Manager as administrator, so no problems there.
Before lunch I found
http://www.systeminetwork.com/forums/aft/109411 which pointed me to
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas1d8897a08c73f4f1986257700004a492d which had V 1.3.3 of IBM IM. After installing that, I got something instead of nothing on the Update Packages. It was taking its time, so I went to lunch, wanting to confirm the fix before responding.
It works!
I installed into the default Program Files (x86) directory and have no problems running it. I did run as administrator the first time, and I did change the IBM folder permissions before getting the patch applied to see if that would help (it didn't). I just revoked the extra authority, and it still works fine.

Sean,
Forgot one thing - you always have to run Installation Manager as administrator,
meaning either right-click and choose Run as administrator, or go into the
properties and check the Run this program as an administrator box in the
Compatibility tab.

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).
