• Installation notes for Windows Vista
• Sample steps for installing the interim fix on Windows Vista
• Starting the product on a Windows Vista computer

• You must run Installation Manager as administrator. (Right-click the program shortcut and click Run as administrator.)
• If you are starting the installation of Rational Software Architect from the launchpad program, you must run the launchpad programs as administrator.

Note: If the launchpad program starts automatically (for example, if you are installing from a CD), stop the launchpad program and restart it by using the Run as administrator command; navigate to the CD or disk image, and right-click launchpad.exe (at the top level of the CD or image) and click Run as Administrator.

• If you want to enable users who do not have Administrator privileges to run Rational Systems Developer, do not select an installation location or Shared Resources directory in the default path C:\Program Files\IBM\; instead, select a directory in a different path, such as C:\Program Files_IBM\.

Note: If you select either an Installation Location or Shared Resources Directory within the Program Files directory, the packages that you install must be run as administrator.

1. Start the launchpad program as administrator (Right-click the launchpad program and click Run as administrator.).
2. If you have not done so already, read the release information by clicking Release notes.
3. When you are ready to begin the installation, click Install IBM Rational Software Architect.
4. A message window opens to inform you whether the program IBM Installation Manager is detected on your workstation.
5. If IBM Installation Manager is not detected on your system, you are informed that you must install it before you can continue.
6. Click OK to install IBM Installation Manager. The IBM Installation Manager installation wizard opens. Follow the instructions in the wizard to complete the installation of IBM Installation Manager.
7. When the installation of IBM Installation Manager completes successfully, click Finish to close the wizard.

If the installation location or Shared Resources directory for Rational Software Architect is in a directory in the path C:\Program Files, you must run Rational Software Architect 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 Rational Software Architect.

If you selected an installation location or Shared Resources directory in the path C:\Program Files and you do not want to require running Rational Software Architect as administrator, complete one of the following steps:

• If you selected an installation location in a directory in the path C:\Program Files, reinstall Rational Software Architect (and any other programs sharing the same installation location) and select an installation location that is not in the path C:\Program Files.
• If you selected a shared resources directory in the path C:\Program Files, reinstall Rational Software Architect and all Rational Software Development Platform product (regardless of their installation location) and select a Shared Resources directory and installation locations that are not in the path C:\Program Files.
