I've only just installed the iSphere plugin (using the TN5250j update site download from the
http://www.taskforce-it.de/downloads.php website, which gives me both iSphere and TN5250j in RDP 8.5.1). I extracted the zip file to my desktop, "add"ed an update site in the "Install new software" screen and everything went smoothly from there. I removed the update site from my desktop afterwards.
Hope this helps.
-Paul.

Subject: Re: [WDSCI-L] Loading Plug-ins - ARCAD 5250 and iSphere
For the Arcad 5250 plugin, the zip file must be unzipped (not renamed jar) and you would point to the folder containing the site.xml, plugins and features folders as a local site from the 'install new software' option.
I have run into issues with other users putting the unzipped folder on a network drive and everything works fine until the install starts.
Other users have no issue installing from a network drive.
The installation manager has nothing to do with adding plugins so maybe running RDP as admin might help with an update if you may have authority issues with the install location of RDP.
If you could provide the steps involved with a specific scenario and the specific error message that results we may be able to be more help.
Thanks

Although, I have been trying to load the 5250 Arcad plug-in and the iSphere tool that I read about lately.
No matter what I have tried - zip file or extracted jar files, with the installation manager or with the install new software selection under help on RDp.
I tried the -clean option that someone suggested in the archives but no difference.
I get the message either that it couldn't find the jar file (after I had browsed to add it).
Or the message that it can't connect to it when I was adding a repository in installation manager. Also tried run as administrator for installation manager.
There must be something I have set wrong somewhere but I can't figure out what.
Is there a plug-in for dummies installation instructions somewhere.
I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks
HTH,
TIA,
Thanks,
Whichever applies
