Brian,
I found that prior to sending the email. I downloaded from the ESS site. I have the .iso ZIP files.
Is it still the same? If so, where the heck do I get Installation Manager?
I can see from the developerworks forum, this is sore point... I can't type the words that are coming out of my mouth right now.
Please IBM, can you make this more difficult and painful? Please!!! I like it. (sorry) :(

This should point you in the right direction:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21668005#ZIPINSTALL
In essence:
- Download the latest version (1.8.4) of Installation Manager (IM) and
install.
- Run IM and use FILE > PREFERENCES > REPOSITORIES to identify the
DISKTAG.INF file in DISK1 directory of your unzipped RDi 9.1
- Use the INSTALL option on the main IM screen to install RDi 9.1
- Run RDi 9.1 and point the Workspace launcher to your copied workspace
- In RDi use HELP > INSTALL NEW SOFTWARE to install the iSphere plug-in
- Install Data Studio using IM in a similar manner as RDi above.
Hope this helps.
Brian.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Installing RDi on a new PC
I'm replacing my desktop PC with a laptop... Still on Windows 7. So I need
to re-install RDi. I copied the unzipped v9.1 folder over to my new
machine, but it won't install - something about installation manager.
So I have a pretty simply installation... I had RDi installed, Data Studio,
iSphere plug, and nothing more. I have my workspace saved and copied over
to the new PC. Is there a document on how best to complete the task of
re-installation? What's the best method to quickly restore my environment
to what it was before?
Thanks.
