Re: New PC!

Ok, found a way around it.

I was on the verge of getting my PC reimaged so took the drastic step of copying the C:/ProgramData/IBM/Installation Manager/bundles/plugins folder from a colleague's PC (who also recently got a new PC) and it now seems to be working. IM upgraded itself and I am now installing data studio.

Thanks for your time guys.

Best regards,
Mark

Hi Mike,

Thanks for that.

I have tried but I get the following error;

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.

Which is exactly the same error I got before!

I have even tried uninstalling RDi, with a view of then uninstalling IM and starting all over again but it would not let me uninstall RDi.

If I can't find a work around for this I will have to get the machine reimaged from the company standard.

Best regards,
Mark

You can download the latest IM (1.7.1 I think) and run the installer and it will update your current install of IM.

Sorry, my new PC has windows 7, 64 bit.

I have switched on the visibility of hidden/system folders and have found the files that the installation manager is looking for.

Yes, when launching the installation manager I right click and run as admin.

This therefore just leaves me with the question of why installation manager won't update itself.

Is there a way to manually update IM to 1.7.0?

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?
