Re: Rational Developer for i 9.6.0.12 fixpack is now available!

For the benefit of anyone coming upon this thread somewhere down the road ...

The problem I had with Installation Manager was due to IBM's idiot habit of selecting the wrong version of IM for download. The version that Fix Central erroneously selects is not only out of date but won't even install on current Macs!

When you do to the page to select the download look for a small selector arrow alongside the version number box. Click that and you will be offered later (and earlier) versions than the one selected. The one I needed (as identified by Jack) was 1.9.2.2. Once that was identified and downloaded all went smoothly and I have a working RDi on Monterey.

Thanks to Jack and all the others who contributed.

And IBM - please fix your bleeping web site to offer the correct version!

Already at 1.9.1.5 Mike - that was the only way I could get a clean
install. I did a complete scratch install using the latest IM about 2
months ago after finally giving up on trying to patch what I had. As noted
it was working (and still works) after the Monterey update - it is just IM
that is the problem.
