About this task

Remember:
Follow these steps to ensure that your IBM Case Foundation Tools are properly installed:
  1. Run the Content Platform Engine installer, selecting only the Tools component.
  2. Run the IBM Case Foundation installer in the same location.
  3. Re-run the Content Platform Engine installer, selecting only the Tools component.
This process ensures that your IBM Case Foundation components include any updates from the most recent Content Platform Engine installation.
