Re: New PC!

Are you running Installation Manager as administrator?  (Right click, Run as administrator.)


The ProgramData directory probably should have been created, if it wasn't already there.  I have a number of vendor directories in mine, not just IBM.  It is a hidden directory, so you'll only see it if you turn on the setting to make hidden directories 'visible'.

You didn't say which version of Windows - 7 or 8, 32 or 64 bit.

Hi,

After years of being promised a new PC I have finally got one!

Unfortunately, after installing RDi 9 and then trying to install data studio the installation manager has crashed trying to update itself! I get the following in the log;

Error preparing IBM® Installation Manager
Error loading bundle com.ibm.cic.common.license.text 1.0.26.v20130503_2155
from location file:/C:/ProgramData/IBM/Installation Manager/bundles/plugins/com.ibm.cic.common.license.text_1.0.26.v20130503_2155.jar
into the installation manager: Error converting plugin at C:\ProgramData\IBM\Installation Manager\bundles\plugins\com.ibm.cic.common.license.text_1.0.26.v20130503_2155.jar.
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Error converting plugin at C:\ProgramData\IBM\Installation Manager\bundles\plugins\com.ibm.cic.common.license.text_1.0.26.v20130503_2155.jar.

The strange thing is that the directory ProgramData does not exists and as far as I know it never has.

The files it is looking for are in the directories I installed RDi from and the directory I was trying to install data studio from.

Has anyone come across anything similar and found a solution or alternatively does anyone know how I can update the installation manager manually?
