Starting installation from the Setup disk

To install Rational® Service Tester as a non-administrator, you must manually run the userinst program from the Setup disk instead of running the launchpad program. Running the userinst program provides you with the same functions as starting the product installation from the launchpad.

Procedure

Depending on the source of your product installation, complete one of these procedures to install the product:
  • If you are installing from the CDs, do these steps:
    1. Insert the Setup CD into your CD drive.
    2. For Linux. Mount the CD drive.
    3. If autorun is enabled on your computer, the launchpad program starts automatically. Stop the launchpad program.
    4. In a command line, change to the root of the Setup disk, and complete one of these steps:
      • For Windows. As an administrator, enter InstallerImage_win32\install.exe.
      • For Windows. As a non-administrator enter InstallerImage_win32\userinst.exe.
      • For Linux. As an administrator, enter InstallerImage_linux/install.
      • For Linux. As a non-administrator, enter InstallerImage_linux/userinst.
  • If you are installing from electronic disks that you downloaded from IBM® Passport Advantage®, open a command line, and change to the directory where you extracted the disk images; then complete one of these steps:
    • For Windows. As an administrator, enter RPT_SETUP\InstallerImage_win32\install.exe.
    • For Windows. As a non-administrator, enter RPT_SETUP\InstallerImage_win32\userinst.exe.
    • For Linux. As an administrator, enter RPT_SETUP/InstallerImage_linux/install.
    • For Linux. As a non-administrator, enter RPT_SETUP/InstallerImage_linux/userinst.

Results

When the userinst or install program starts, Installation Manager is installed if it is not already on your computer. Furthermore, Installation Manager is configured with the location of the repository (installation files) for Rational Service Tester.
