This document describes how to install IBM® WebSphere® Developer for System zTM V7.0 Interim Fix 001. This interim fix is provided as an update and installed using IBM Installation Manager.

The following sections describe how to install this update.

2.0 Installation prerequisites

5.0 Downloading the update for local installations

Ideally, this update should be installed directly from the IBM update server, as described in the Workstation installation instructions section above. However, you may also download an archive file containing the update and perform local installations. You might want to do this if:

1.     Download the WDz70IFix001.exe file from the support website.

2.     Run WDz70IFix001.exe by double-clicking on the file. This program will be used to extract the required update installation files to a folder on your system. Follow the program dialogs to select the destination folder and extract the update installation files. These files are temporary and may be deleted after the installation is completed.

3.     Start IBM Installation Manager from the Windows Start menu. By default this is under Start > All Programs > IBM Installation Manager > IBM Installation Manager. Select Update Packages.

4.     From the menu bar, select File > Preferences… This is where you will tell the IBM Installation Manager the location of the installation files you just extracted.

5.     Click Add Repository… in the Preferences dialog.
