Installing WebSphere development tool

["Jon Paris" <Jon.Paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  >> I am trying to install the WebSphere development tools on an XP Home
edition box. I am signed on with my name and I have administrative authority
to the box. I get an error message stating that I have to be logged on as a
system administrator to install the tools. I have administrative authority.
What could be the problem?

The most likely cause is that you are trying to install the "old" (V4R5
otherwise known as WDT/400) version of the tools.  The current WDSc does not
experience this.

This is a copy of the notes posted by IBM to cure the problem.  Once you
have completed this and sacrificed a chicken or two on top of the CPU all
should be well.

Hope it works for you.

1. Set/create the registry key.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IBM\WDT400\Transient]

"InstallSrcpath"="G:"

Replace "G:" with where the source you install from(your CD drive letter).

2. Run install\msisetup.exe (in CD1)

3. Run install\bin\v51setup.exe (in CD1)
