Re: 9.6 install

[Brian Parkins <goodprophet.bp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greg, I agree. It doesn't seem right - it really shouldn't take that 
long to unzip and install. (I don't use the web install route. 
Downloading the zip files does take ages, but the unzip and install 
should be done in 20 mins or less.) Something else is amiss

As for Workspace migration, RDi now has features to help:

In 9.5 - FILE > EXPORT > RDi > CONFIGURATION FILES

In 9.6 - FILE > IMPORT > RDi > CONFIGURATION FILES

However, I tend to simply copy/paste/rename the entire Workspace 
directory and point to the (renamed) directory in the Eclipse Launcher 
when RDi loads. It will convert your 9.5-style workspace to 9.6-style, 
(whatever that means).

Brian.

BTW, always worth having a backup copy of your Workspace - it has been 
known to get hosed . . .
