Not able to open Installation Manager UI
This query is about Installation Manager. I am not sure i can post here or not. Installation Manager (IM)1.5.2 is installed in Linux . All Jazz based tool and WAS is installed using IM 1.5.2. Now i want to upgrade WAS 8.0 to WAS 8.0.0.3 using IM. But when i am trying to launch IM through command prompt using ./launcher, nothing is happening . It is returning commmand prompt again. It is not launching IM UI window with option Install, UnInstall, Update, Modify etc. I tried to check in log file, but log file is also blank. Can any one please tell me what is root cause and how to resolve this issue?

Bharat,
For IM to open on Unix / Linux, you need to have a browser and all the compatible GTK libraries installed. Since you mentioned that you were able to install WAS, I assume all these are in place. Please check these links out to see if it helps:

Did anything getting logged when you used ./IBMIM to launch IM? The logs would be under
/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse or the configuration directory within that.
