Re: Installing iSphere for RDi 9.5.1.3 Error

Userinst can be used on any of the platforms (Windows/Linux/mac) so that IM and RDi are installed in the user home directory (and avoid admin issues).

FWIW, I always installed RDi in a directory other than Program Files (or other protected directory) to avoid the administrator rights requirement.

On Linux I use the userinst program to install it in my home directory.

On windows I use C:/IBM/RDi. That also makes it easier to keep separate directories for each version (I had about 6 versions installed at any one time for testing of the implementer plug-in).
