Starting installation from the Setup disk

If you want to install Rational® Service Tester as a non-Admin, 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 functionality as starting the product installation from the launchpad.

About this task

To start the installation from the Setup disk, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. 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 do one of the following things:
      • For Windows. As an Admin, Run InstallerImage_win32\install.exe.
      • For Windows. As a non-Admin Run InstallerImage_win32\userinst.exe.
      • For Linux. As an Admin, Run InstallerImage_linux/install.
      • For Linux. As a non-Admin, Run InstallerImage_linux/userinst.
  2. If you are installing from electronic disks downloaded from IBM Passport Advantage, open a command line and change to the directory where you extracted the disk images, and then do one of the following things:
    • For Windows. As an Admin, Run RST_SETUP\InstallerImage_win32\install.exe.
    • For Windows. As a non-Admin Run RST_SETUP\InstallerImage_win32\userinst.exe.
    • For Linux. As an Admin, Run RST_SETUP/InstallerImage_linux/install.
    • For Linux. As a non-Admin, Run RST_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.
