Ubuntu is not supported, even in RAD 8. For Windows 7 support, you need RAD 7.5.5. If, as you indicate in a comment, you're running RAD 7.5, that's not a supported configuration.

See here for the platform support statements for RAD.

In other words, you need to upgrade to RAD 7.5.5 at a minimum.

  • my friend says that he installed successfully :S – jacop41 Feb 05 '11 at 14:24
  • Yes, but unfortunately, your friend isn't IBM. All I can do is point you to the statement of support. If you choose to ignore that, that's up to you. There's usually a good reason why they say things like that. It's either because the fix wasn't backported to earlier versions or that the specific version was the one where they fixed the reported bug. In either case, running 7.5.4 is a bad idea. If you can get it running, more power to you, but it's _still_ not a good idea. – paxdiablo Feb 05 '11 at 14:28

Your installation is broken. Uninstall it and try again without any deviation from what the installation manager suggests.

  • I have had issues with the installation manager under Windows 7 with other products. IBM.com does not answer right now - is Windows 7 supported for your RAD 7.5 product? If not, consider running it in XP Mode. I've had to do that for WSDCi. – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Feb 05 '11 at 13:51
