IBM WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer Interim Fix 5.0.1.15

Installation Instructions

This document describes how to install IBM WebSphere Studio Enterprise Developer Interim Fix 5.0.1.15 either directly from the IBM update site or from a downloadable, self extracting file. If you install directly from the IBM update site, installation is performed through the Help -> Software Updates -> New Updates capability built into the product. You also have the option of downloading a self extracting file that you can extract and then install locally from your machine using Help -> Software Updates -> Update Manager

To install this Interim Fix you need only follow the self extracting file installation instructions or follow the Update Manager installation instructions. Do not try to perform both types of installation on the same machine.
Directions for the Update Manager install are also listed below

Please Note: There are known issues that may result in problems during or after applying the fix. To ensure a proper installation:

• Follow the instructions below carefully
• If you have disabled any plug-ins either through Update Manager or by modifying plugin.xml files, enable them prior to installation.

Self Extracting file for local installations

It is recommended that you install directly from the IBM server, but a downloadable version of the fix is available for users who meet the following criteria:

• Have slow or unstable Internet connections and would like use a download manager with resume capability
• Have trouble accessing the live IBM server from behind firewalls
• Would rather download the fixes and install at a later time
• Are site administrators for a group of developers who do not have direct access to the Internet

Once you have downloaded the file, extrace the files to a directory and Read the Installation Instructions for the self extracting file
