For Installation Manager to search the default update repository, the preference Search the linked repositories during installation and updates on the Repositories preference page must be selected.

Steps for installing the interim fix as an update To find and install Interim Fix 001 for Rational Software Architect Standard Edition, Version 7.5.5.5 as an update:
Uninstalling the interim fix You can revert to the previous version by using the rollback feature of Installation Manager. For instructions on uninstalling the product, see the Uninstalling product packages topic in the product information center. The rollback feature uninstalls the updated resources and reinstalls the resources from the previous version. You can only roll back one version level at a time. When you roll back to an earlier version of a package, it will be restored with same features that were associated with that version; any features that you added after updating to Interim Fix 001 for version 7.5.5.5 will be removed, and any features that you removed will be restored. During the rollback process, Installation Manager must access files from the earlier version of the package. By default, these files are stored on your system when you install a package. If you changed the default setting or deleted the files by using the Remove Stored Files option on the Roll Back preferences page (File > Preferences > Rollback Files), Installation Manager will require access to your installation repository or media. If you installed the product from a repository, you must have listed in your Preferences (File > Preferences > Repositories) the repository from which you installed the previous version of the product. If you installed the product from disks or downloaded installation files, they must be available when you use the rollback feature. Before you roll back Interim Fix 001 for Rational Software Architect Standard Edition, Version 7.5.5.5, complete the following steps:
