Get IM 1.9.1.5 and it should work I have not seen success with IM 1.9.2 if
the Userinst.app does not run try the userinst script.
The Mac RDI install was built for Mac OSX (macOS 10 on x86) not macOS 11+
on M1

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [WDSCI-L] RDi on MacOs Monterey
Sent by: "WDSCI-L" <wdsci-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
So, I got myself a brand new MacBook Pro M1. I read the horror stories
about RDi on MacOs on <
https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/communities/community-home/digestviewer/viewthread?MessageKey=d7a97382-7e33-4d57-b53a-97174761546f
, but I understood that there was, based on Eric Simpson’s description, a
narrow path that led to installation.
First: Install Java. After reading some not very clear instructions and
performing some black magic in Terminal I succeeded.
Second: Install Access Client Solutions. Although there appears to be a
separate download for MacOs, it is not mentioned in the instructions and
seems to not do very much. So I downloaded the zip-file instead, found that
it was automatically unpacked, tried to run the install script and got only
error messages. Eventually I found that I could actually start ACS by
starting ‘acslaunch’. Not pretty, but I got it working.
Third: Install Installation Manager according to Eric’s instructions. Eric
mentions version 1.9.1.5, but following his instructions I got 1.9.2. But
Userinst.app would not run.
In the mean time I read about removing extended attributes with ‘xattr -c’
and Safari’s defaults for ‘safe files’. So I switched off automatic
unpacking and had another go.
ACS take 2: dowloaded the zip, removed extended attributes, unpacked the
file and ran the installation script. This time everything went smooth and
I now have a normal installation of ACS.
Installation Manager take 2: downloaded the zip, removed extended
attributes, unpacked the file and tried to run Userinst.app. No go: ‘App
Userinst cannot be opened’ (in Dutch).
So I have a few questions:
- Was Eric’s description only valid for Big Sur and is the narrow path
blocked by Monterey?
- Or did something change in Installation Manager version 1.9.2?
- Does this mean there is no way to install RDi on Monterey?
And additionally:
- Is there an APAR for this situation?
