Re: RDi V9.1 requires Install Manager version 1.7.2 or later but...

I just did the installation from the Web that Eric pointed out - it took 
very little time - like 10 or 15 minutes - compare that to really long 
download times that others are reporting and that I've seen before.

I'm almost ready to suggest that we use the web install with IM!
