Hi Don,
I assumed that "next to" means "parallel to" or "beside". My intention was to describe the following:
If "C:\Program Files\RDi" was the "standard" installation path, then "next to" would mean, e.g.: "C:\IBM\RDi".
Sorry, I do not know how to express that better.
Thomas.

I thought IBM long ago advised to NOT install RDi in the C:\Program Files folder. Although I'm not sure what you meant when you said 'installing RDi into a directory next to "c:\Program Files"', with emphasis on "next to".

Hi Don,
I remember there was a problem with the "com.google.gson" plug-in long ago (9.5?). But that must not necessarily be the problem you have, I think. I have only seen the "No repository found containing ..." messages when users tried to install a plug-in without administrator previledges. So probably that may help you as well.
Right-click the RDi icon and select "Run as administrator", then try to install iSphere. In case that you have selected "Contact all update sites during install to find required software", deselect that option.
From the iSphere help:
" Make sure that you have administrator rights if you installed RDi into c:\Program Files.
Otherwise you may encounter strange error messages such as 'No repository found containing ...' when attempting to install the iSphere plug-in."
" Some people complained about various dependency errors, which could be solved by deselecting all update sites, leaving only iSphere checked."
If that does not help, you most likely are effected by the "com.google.gson" plug-in Mike mentioned. But if I recall correctly, then the error message of that problem was "Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: com.google.gson", which is different from the message you get.
Last but not least, for me installing RDi into a directory next to "c:\Program Files" worked best, so far. I installed by RDi(s) into " c:\IBM\RDi_09x". I do not remember any problems with repositories that could not be found.
Let us know if the "Run as administrator" option helped.
Thomas.
