Error installing RTC 3.0.1.1 Server
I'm trying to install the RTC 3.0.1.1 Server. I downloaded RTC-Web-Installer-Win-3.0.1.1.zip, expanded it, ran launchpad.exe, and selected
The com.ibm.team.install.calm package specified in the C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\Downloads\RTC-Web-Installer-Win-3.0.1.1\im\win32.win32.x86\install-server.xml file cannot be found. After clicking on the OK button to dismiss the error dialog, the only thing I can do is press the Cancel button to abort the install. Is this a known problem? How do I work around it? |

Did you actually check that the file
C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\Downloads\RTC-Web-Installer-Win-3.0.1.1\im\win32.win32.x86\install-server.xml exists ? Don't you have a repository.xml file to point too ? |
Yes, the C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\Downloads\RTC-Web-Installer-Win-3.0.1.1\im\win32.win32.x86\install-server.xml file exists and I'm able to open it in my favorite editor. BTW, I simply downloaded RTC-Web-Installer-Win-3.0.1.1.zip from jazz.net and expanded it. I would assume that all of the necessary files to do the install would be present in RTC-Web-Installer-Win-3.0.1.1.zip.

Use an unzip application like 7zip - and expand it on a shorter directory path. I suspect this is when you get this error. You may also need admin rights on the machine to run the install, or you need to work on a directory that you have full R/W access to. Once unzipped - the installer grabs the installation files from here in jazz.net - so make sure you have a working internet connection. Let us know if this does not solve the problem (or if you fixed it another way) regards anthony |
Anthony, thanks for your help. I was using 7-Zip to expand RTC-Web-Installer-Win-3.0.1.1.zip into C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\Downloads\RTC-Web-Installer-Win-3.0.1.1 (the default directory generated by 7-Zip). Based on your response, I tried expanding instead into shorter path, namely C:\a. This resolved the problem with the missing files. Thanks again for your help.

Even extracting into c:\rtc3.0.1.1 was too long a directory name. c:\a did work. Also, you know it works when launchpad prompts you for login name and password for jazz.net. If you're not prompted, then the path name is too long.
