I just installed it the same way that Brian suggested
I was apprehensive, just in case I screwed things up – but it looks like the update was successful

Brian,

You nailed it. Downloading the zip file and adding the zip file as an
archived update site or unpacking the zip file to a folder and adding
that folder as a local update site is the most reliable way to install
or update iSphere. In fact, that is what my colleagues do.

When I create a new iSphere release, I take the zip and unzip it to a
folder on a (I do not know what) server. Then my colleagues update their
RDi' from that folder. No problems with unreachable update sites or tls
certificates or whatever.

But in my eyes it it easier for most people to open the Eclipse
Marketplace and install or update iSphere from there.

That is all.

download and install.)

I would respectfully suggest that the steps I follow aren't at all
arduous or complicated and take an extra minute or two to complete. The
advantage is having to download the .ZIP file just the once, handy if
iSphere is to be deployed on multiple devices.

And it works.

HTH,
Brian.

That is the most reliable approach available. But it is also the most
uncomfortable approach.

FWIW, I >always< use Check For Updates. Never fails. On Windows I have a
standard folder (C:\RDi Plugins\iSphere) from where the plug-in was
initially unzipped and installed. The procedure I follow is:

- Download the .ZIP file
- Clear existing standard folder
- Unzip new version in standard folder
- Start RDi
- Use HELP > CHECK FOR UPDATES

Invariably the newer version of iSphere is picked up: just follow the
prompts.

HTH,

Allan,

Did you already told us what version of RDi you use? I could not find
that information. I assume that you use 6.6 or higher so that
validating the certificate chain should work. It does not work any
longer for RDP 8.0.

When I create a new release I test the repository by updating iSphere
via:

* Install New Software
* Eclipse Marketplace

I never use "Update Software".

I updated iSphere at around 4pm New York time on 4/23 with no issues.
In RDI I did an install software and pointed to the iSphere
repository -
http://isphere.sourceforge.net/eclipse/rdi8.0/<http://isphere.sourceforge.net/eclipse/rdi8.0><http://isphere.sourceforge.net/eclipse/rdi8.0<http://isphere.sourceforge.net/eclipse/rdi8.0>><http://isphere.sourceforge.net/eclipse/rdi8.0<http://isphere.sourceforge.net/eclipse/rdi8.0><http://isphere.sourceforge.net/eclipse/rdi8.0<http://isphere.sourceforge.net/eclipse/rdi8.0>>>



Downloaded and installed with no issue.

Note: I use the 'Install New Software' option instead of the 'Check
for Updates' function.
This has always worked for me.

I have no idea why that happens. It might be a problem at SourceForge
or a caching problem somewhere else.

BTW, when I mentioned earlier in this thread that I successfully
installed iSphere 4.0.1, then I did that with RDi 9.6.

I cannot update RDP 8.0 for a long time, because of the following
error:

Unable to read repository at

Received fatal alert: protocol_version

I assume that SourceForge changed the TLS version to a newer version,
that is not supported by the Java runtime included in RDP 8.0.

For RDi 9.6 users I suggest to close and restart RDi or wait for the
next day.

Thomas.
