This article describes how to install WDSC 7.0.0.8 on Windows 7.
Windows 7
Windows 7 has safeguards that make installing software over a network share flaky. I copied all installation files to my local PC and ran them from there, as Administrator. That might be overkill.
- Get the latest version of IBM Installation Manager
- As Administrator, install Installation Manager.
- As Administrator, install WDSC 7.0.0.0 using IM. If you have a repository with the latest wdsc fixpacks, install that instead.
- If you need the latest fix packs, run Installation Manager (as Administrator) and install them.
Some people have reported that they needed to run WDSC in Vista compatibility mode:
- Right-click on the WDSC shortcut and select "Properties".
- Select the "Compatibility" tab,
- Check the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" box, select
"Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)" from the drop-down box
- Click on the OK button.
