Re: IBM Rational Developer for i 9.8 is available!

The published instructions are correct and work.  Remember that this
installation process is different from other RDi installations.

I downloaded the .ZIP file, (here's the important part) moved it into a
permanent folder (i.e., not some temporary folder or the Downloads folder)
as the instructions said, and unzipped it.  RDI.exe shows up in that folder
and that's your executable: point your shortcuts to it and you should be
good.

With many program products, the installation process creates its own
folders in the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folder hierarchy,  It
appears that's not the case here.  RDi lives where you put it.
