Re: Trying to install Rational Developer

I had the same issue when I was reinstalling V9.5.0.3 on my PC (to put together documentation on how it's done for other developers). I ended up using IBM Installation Manager (V1.8.4.1) and adding in the location as a repository. Then it installed without the Java message.

Doug, using "Run as Administrator" resulted in the program not running.
Blinked a couple times, but never displayed anything.
Matt, that worked. Thanks!

If you dig around in the install folders you will find folders named

userinst.exe. Try that one.l


Thanks, Matt

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Trying to install Rational Developer

Just got a new PC at work (killed another one!) and I am trying to
install Rational Developer 9.5 on it. I have the downloaded installer
media here locally (others here have used it). Every time I run
"launchpad.exe" I get the error "Could not create the Java virtual machine".

I find various fixes for it regarding IBM and/or Rational software,
but only solutions that work when the product is already installed and
I can edit an eclipse.ini file, but I have not been able to install it
yet so no eclipse.ini that I can find.

Any help out there for this situation?

I have Windows 10 with nothing installed but Java 8 and MS Office.
