RPE 7.0 Installer
Is this the new version of RPE?
When I install it it does not create desktop icons to run RPE Publisher and Studio
It installs stuff that looks like server stuff rather than application stuff under
C:\Program Files\IBM\DocumentBuilder
If this is RPE how do you run the usual applications?
I am a bit confused with all the rebranding whether or not there is a new version of RPE and if so where to get it. RPE used to be available for download on Jazz.net

Hi Sean,
I had to update my environment so I installed it PUB using https://jazz.net/downloads/elo-publishing.
If You will select IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Publising you should get the Launcher and Document Studio. Based on your description you installed only Document Builder.

Hi Sean,
You will find 2 different packages - IBM ELO - Publishing (which includes Launcher, Studio and DOORS Addin) and IBM ELO - Publishing Document Builder. You need to install them separately.
Note that you do not see desktop shortcuts created automatically for Studio and Launcher anymore; IBM common install guidelines don't recommend having them. The shortcuts are found in the start menu (which you can pin to taskbar) or you can create shortcut manually from %rpe_home%\studio and %rpe_home%\launcher. |
Thanks for the replies.
I went to the following link on 20th April
There was one download available which came down as a 1.4 GB zip file titled PUB-offering-repo-7.0.zip
When I unzipped and installed it there was only 1 component offered - IBM ELO - Publishing Document Builder:-
Installing it did not install the new client software.
Now when I go back to the same download location there is still only 1 download offered but the zip file is now named PUB-7.0.zip and it is now 2.9GB in size
Was the new Publishing client only recently bundled into the available download zip?

Sean,
I downloaded it yesterday and my archive is 2.9GB.
Document Builder is web-based component of RPE.
Can you click "Modify" in Installation Manager and check if You have more options there?
