Thank you Eric (and Michael who also replied) this was exactly what I needed.

If you don't mind a bit of friendly advice, however... this could be made more intuitive. I don't know how I would've ever figured this out if I hadn't asked on this mailing list and gotten information from other people. Surely Rational wants customers to keep their RDi up-to-date, and therefore I think they'd benefit from either turning this on by default, or from making it easier to find/understand...

Scott,

The simplest way is to enable Installation Manager's automatic check for
it's own updates. In Installation Manager, go to File>Preferences. On the
Updates preference page, select the 'Search for Installation Manager
updates' option. Close the preferences and then click on Install. It will
first check for the latest Installation Manager.

Thanks,
Eric

Looks like I'm running 1.7.2. How do I update the installation manager?

I'm feeling like an idiot today because I know I've updated RDi many
times before, but for some reason I just can't figure out how today...

I recently installed 9.1 (had been using 9.0.1 for a long time, but
decided to "get with the program"). Since installing it, I've wanted
to pick up the most recent bug fixes or incremental updates, but it
always fails.

I'm using Installation Manager, and clicking Update, and I get this:

No updates or fixes were found for the packages that are installed in
the selected locations.

Installation Manager searched the following repositories for updates and
fixes:

--
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/awdtools/rdpower/v91/rdi/updates/
--
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/awdtools/rdpower/v91/rdi/extensions/


Do I need to use a different repository? Or is it really true that
there are no updates at all to this version of RDi?
