Re: RDi update

Hi Doug,

is it possible, that your User Profile has only read permission on your RDi installation?

If you want to update with "Install new software..." you can mark all available fix packs at once, and unmark "Contact all update sites ..." before you go on.

It first check the permissions and if your user has not write permission for the RDi directory and into contents, you have to grant them.

This is why I always recommend to install RDi inside of your "\Users\..." folder.

Steve or Daniel,

When I click on Check for Updates under Help, RDI runs for about 5 seconds
[seeing progress bar], stops, and nothing happens.

Clicking on Help ---> Install New Software, i see this site listed and
click on it:


https://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/awdtools/rdi/v98/


When I click on it, I see RDi 9.8.0.1 through 9.8.0.8.

I've clicked on 9.8.0.8 and tried, and nothing installs. I try 9.8.0.3
[and almost all of the others], it prompts to restart, but I'm still on
9.8.0.2. No matter which update I want to install, RDi has a message
ending in "... updates are not permitted." Am I doing something wrong?


Thank you,

Doug
