Re: Still having issues loading iSphere plugin

Vern - that's not what I meant. I tried to load RDi by downloading the ISO images for the entire product... definitely not the way to go.

I'm good now.. thanks for your help.

Greg - I believe you just explicitly said you had first tried using "Install New Software" to install RDi, and that's what I responded to - at least that's how I read your post. If I got that wrong, mea culpa.

Cheers

I wasn't talking about installing RDi from there either... I was just explaining my issues installing RDi in general, then a secondary issue of installing iSphere.

My only problem right now is pointing install/update to the iSphere URL as opposed to a downloaded zip file. The latter works fine.

I was not suggesting installing RDi via an RDi Menu option. However, there are several plugins (third party ones for instance) that work from the "Install New Software" option. As far as I know Installation Manager cannot manage those.

hi Greg

RDi/RDp has not been installable using "Install New Software" for years.

As to iSphere, yes, they give us a ZIP file to put into a folder, then
we point to that folder in "Install New Software". IIRC, that is!

The "Install New Software" is what I was trying to do when I initially posted the question. That is not working for me (for iSphere only).
