Re: Usual RDi Update Silliness

Yes, of course. My IBM ID and password. Like always. Except it fails.

It's asking for installation download I last installed from,
~/Downloads/IBM/RDi/disk1

Which I removed from my hard drive, just leavin the license .jar

Does it need disk1 to do an upgrade?

But anyway, it then pops the IBM id password dialog. And when I type in my
IBM id and password it says:
*The credentials you provided are invalid. Credentials are required to
connect to the IBM download site. Enter IBM ID and password.*
Now what?
