To tell you the truth - it doesn't really matter. Its not important.
I am not convinced the time spent trying to get WDSC to install is
productive. I have more important things to do and I can live without it.
As far as I am concerned, if something does not work, don't waste time
trying to sort it - instead, fling it out and find something else that does
work. Time is money, and I have a business to run.

Well, you might have to dig a bit to find the right program on the CD. I was
doing that from memory.
However...I have installed WDSC 7.0 and CODE/400 on Vista on at least 3
occasions in the past six months by changing the compatability mode to
Windows XP.

SETUP.exe does not install WDSC - it only installs the IBM installation
manager. I can't find any other install program for WDSC except
LauchPad.exe.
Still - I will try again.
Yes David -- I take your point. This thread would be better in WDSCI-L

Right click on the SETUP.EXE program on the cd and change it's properties to
run in Windows XP mode.
If you cannot change the properties of the .exe on the CD, create a shortcut
to the .exe on your desktop and change the properties there to run in
Windows XP mode.
I've installed this on Vista many times.
Also be sure you have UAC turned off.

Hi Jon,
If you know to install WDSC 7.0 I am interested.
My system will not run the install program. I have tried many different
times and many different ways.
Lauchpad.exe runs and loads a window with an option to install WDSC. None of
the options work, there is no response from the program.
I have not found any other install options on the CDs that install WDSC

It can and has been installed many times. If you use V6.0 I can
understand that you find it bulky and clunky - but WDSC 7.0 and RDi
7.1 are both much more agile and resilient to problems.
