Re: Still having issues loading iSphere plugin

As to running as Administrator - yes, it makes a difference. I have full admin rights on this company laptop, and that does not make things install right.

This is Win 7 Enterprise. For most installations, I always have to right-click and select "Run ad Adminstrator" - unless I've set that property in the program itself - you can do that, too, in Windows - but you probably don't want to run RDi all the time as administrator.

But what do I know!!

I did not run as administrator - however my user ID is a domain admin - does that make a difference?

Once you get it, make sure you install it after starting RDI in "Run as Administrator" mode. Probably the #1 issue people have with the plugin installation is this.

So after the horrific ordeal of installing RDi (v9.5) again on my new

laptop, now I can't get iSphere loaded.

I had it loaded once by downloading it manually, now it appears to be

gone. I've installed Data Studio since.

When I try to add the URL to the repository (

http://isphere.sourceforge.net/eclipse/rdi8.0/)... It says "Pending..." for a while and then gives an error about not being able to access "content.xml" at the URL.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Sourceforge seems to be having issues.
You may be able to do it the hard way and download the .zip file from https://sourceforge.net/projects/isphere/?source=directory Then un-zip it and add that directory to your list of update sites.

Window > Preferences > Install/update > Available update sites file:/C:/addons/iSphere_beta/
