However the problem you described does not seem to be related to RDi 9.6 but to a corrupt local update site >(zip) file. From my point of view the SourceForge server is not the most reliable server on the Internet and >I assume that you downloaded a corrupt zip file.

What I would do is either download a fresh copy of the zip file or unpack the downloaded zip to a local >folder. If the zip utility cannot unzip all components, there is a defect in the zip file. I just downloaded >the zip file a few minutes ago and it seems to be fine.

Thanks for the reply, Thomas. The zip file I used for the local repository was indeed the correct size. I took a close look at some of the .jar files in the unzipped file with what was present in the /program files/ibm/SDP/plugins/etc... folder and noticed some size differences. For example biz.iSphere.adapter_3.1.3.r.jar was 14K in the repository and 2K in the /plugins folder. So, I renamed it, copied the repository version over and re-ran the install. It worked. Go figure.
