Using Installation Manager, not use shared folder
![]()
I am about to install the 4.0.4 clm package, using IM. but I have other versions running and have some of the files in the IBMIMSHARED folder. (Shared Resources Directory: j:\ibm\rtc\IBM\IBMIMShared)
is there a way to get IM to NOT use this folder cause it will overlay the other version files. |

Hi Sam,
The only way I had found to do this, bizarrely, is to do this is via the Web installer, rather than the full download. Alas, I just tried this in 4.0.4 and we've changed the installer, so it is no longer possible. This would only be possible with a 3.0.x build, where you would have the following option: "Install in a shared location for multiple users (requires administrator privileges)" in order to be able to create a new IBMIMShared folder for your new version installation. With Installation Manager you are under the following proviso: Important: You can only specify the shared resources directory the first time that you install a package. We suggest that you use your largest drive for this. You cannot change the directory location until you uninstall all packages. Cheers, Paul sam detweiler selected this answer as the correct answer
Comments thanks.. I am on a fairly slow 6mb down link.. full zip download takes almost 2 hours. Let me test this now again, so I can be more explicit with my instructions...but I did mean installing via the Web Installer which is initially 256.93MB
thanks.. I am downloading the web installer now.. 15 minutes.
Hi Sam,
thanks.. bummer..

I don't want to 'upgrade', I want to install new, in addition to the existing installation. if I use the RTC zip, then I can do this without using IM.. but when I get forced into IM cause it does all the extra work for multiple components, then I get trapped.
I realize this is an abnormal situation.
