Important notes for the Windows Vista operating system: - If the installation location or Shared Resources directory for your product
is in a directory in the path C:\Program Files, you can
run the product only as the administrator. To run as administrator, right-click
the program shortcut, and click Run as administrator.
- On Windows Vista, the Program Files directory is usually virtualized in
order to allow users who are not running as the administrator to have write
access to this protected directory. However, the virtualization workaround
is not compatible with your product.
- If you selected an installation location or shared resources directory
in the path C:\Program Files and you do not want to require
running your product as administrator, complete one of these steps:
- Reinstall your product and any other programs that sharing the same installation
location, and select an installation location that is not in the path C:\Program
Files.
- Reinstall your product and all Rational Software Delivery Platform product
packages (regardless of their installation location), and select a shared
resources directory and installation locations that are not in the path C:\Program
Files
