Title: Installation of Websphere Development Tools for the AS400

I had the same problem. The install media I was using was from the Developers Toolbox issued by Partnerworld. I did have a a version 3 install set of VAJAVA and Websphere installed. Removing all traces of these would still not let me install.

 

In the end I did get it working by downloading the 3 disk images again from the web version of the developers toolbox, and the installation worked fine.

 

Are you by any chance using the Partnerworld install media? If you are and have access to the documentation and the associated URLs my advice would be to go for a new download.

 

If you are not using that media, you have me stumped.

Subject: Installation of Websphere Development Tools for the AS400

I am unsuccessfully trying to install IBM Websphere Development Tools for the AS400 on a computer running Windows NT 4.0.  The included components are VisualAge for Java for AS/400,  WebSphere Studio for AS/400, Visual Age RPG and Code 400.   The documentation mentions that to install the software on a windows NT machine; the user has to have administration rights and the environment variable WINDIR must point to C:\WINNT.

The user profile I have logged on under has admininstrator rights and the environment variable points to C:\WINNT40

When the SETUP program is run, a window comes up mentioning that IBM SDK (a WDT 400 pre-requisite) needs to be installed and asks whether the user would like to install it.  After I click on Yes, a GUI panel comes up which lists the readme file, bullets points that lists the different components, an install button and an exit button.  When I click the install button, a demoshield window comes up.  This disappears and nothing else seems to happen.

Regards,
Lucille
