Hi Doug,
Did Daniels suggestion help? Moving to a /users/<your profile>/ folder?
If not, you can use install. But you cannot jump from 2 to 8 in one step. You will need to got to 3, restart and so on. Until you get to 8.
Make sure you ONLY have the RDi repository selected on the check for updates. Other sites may be causing issues.
You can also unzip your original 9800 into a user folder, then do a check for updates to go from 9800 to 9808.

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
