• You have a slow or unstable Internet connection and want to use a download manager that can resume the download.
• You have difficulty accessing the live IBM update servers from behind a firewall.
• You prefer to download the refresh pack and install it later.

To download and install the refresh pack, complete the following steps:

1. Download the following files: ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/websphere/studiotools/wid/support/wid601_refresh_pack_pt1.zip
   ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/websphere/studiotools/wid/support/wid601_refresh_pack_pt2.zip
2. Extract the refresh pack to a temporary directory, such as C:\temp.
3. For installation instructions, navigate to C:\temp\wid\ and open install_local_601.html.

5.0 Silent update

A silent update provides minimal messages during the update and reduces your interaction time to perform the update. A silent update is helpful for large updates.

To perform a silent update of WID 6.0 to WID 6.0.1, follow these steps:

1. Download the zip file from the update site and extract it to a local temporary directory (i.e. C:\widupdate_temp).
2. Create a directory "update" in your WID installation directory.
3. Create a file responsefile.wid601.update.txt in the "update" directory (i.e. <wid_install_dir>\update
4. Open the responsefile.wid601.update.txt file with a text editor and you may optionally enter the following parameters:
   • -P installLocation="<install_dir>" - The location where you want to temporarily extract the installation files
   • -W profile_selection_panel.wps=true - Set to "true" if you wish to create a WebSphere Process Server profile, set to "false" otherwise
   • -W profile_selection_panel.esb=true - Set to "true" if you wish to create a WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus profile, set to "false" otherwise.

Note: You MUST create at least one profile, that is, one of the above profile parameters must be set to "true".  The WPS profile is set to "true" by default.
