Re: Installation Manager version update problems

I would suggest contacting support so that this can be investigated
further.

Thanks,
Eric

I tried, and got a bit further (I think?) following directions as best I
could.
I found and downloaded (from fix central) refresh pack:
1.8.2.0-IBMIM-Multiplatform-Update-20150303_1526.
Extracted into c:\Program Files\IBM\IM1.8.2  (Installation Manager lives in
c:\Program Files\IBM\)
Added c:\Program Files\IBM\IM1.8.2 at the top of the IM repository list
Ran IM Update.  Crashed with the following:

>  Failed to find required installation files.

>  CRIMA1161E: Failed to find required installation files.

>  Explanation: Installation Manager did not find required installation
files from the repository. An
  issue has occurred with the package that cannot be resolved by
Installation Manager.

>  User Action: If the repository files were transferred from a different
location before the installation, verify that the files were not altered
during the transfer operation. Copy the repository files to a different
location and install from that location.  If the repository files were not
transferred note the package name and version number and contact customer
support.

This is on the same PC where I have a Permanent License showing for RDi.

What next?
