Required significant assistance from IBM support (Installation Manager was
corrupted), but I'm all better now.
Thanks for your help.

Mike, I suspect I need something more specific.
If "...it won't be able to connect to the repository", what would I

be adding the "//repository.config" to?
You need to do two separate things.

1) Have IM upgrade itself to the latest version. After it updates, it
will prompt you to restart. Go ahead, then after it restarts, close,
and re-open it. (I Run as Administrator).

2) Now that IM is at 8.latest, it can connect to the RDi repo. File >
Preferences > Repositories, pop in the repo and then OK out back to the
main panel where you'll choose Install.

Sorry I wasn't clear :-(
