Use this procedure to install IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® Developer, IBM Rational Rhapsody Architect for Software, IBM Rational Rhapsody Architect for Systems Engineers,
or IBM Rational Rhapsody Designer for Systems Engineers on
a Microsoft Windows system.
Before you begin
You must have either administrator privileges for the machine
on which you are installing the product or know the credentials for
an administrative account to be able to install the product successfully.
An administrative account can write to the Program Files directory
and the Windows registry.
In the latter case, you can enter the credentials for the administrative
account during the installation process for the product.
If
you are installing
Rational Rhapsody on
the Windows Vista operating
system:
- You must know the security and redirection principles that are
used by the Windows Vista
operating system. For example, the Vista operating system has higher
security settings for the Program Files directory; therefore, certain
installation files might be redirected to other locations on your
system during the installation process. If you install Rational Rhapsody in C:\Program
Files\IBM\Rational\Rhapsody, most of the installation files
are installed in that location and its subdirectories, but the writable rhapsody.ini file
and sample model files might be installed in a user directory, such
as C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program
Files\IBM\Rational\Rhapsody. For more information, see http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=4061&uid=swg21417451.
- To run the installation, you must be logged in as an administrator,
not a user with administrator rights. If you are not logged in as
an administrator and try to install the product, the Error
registering Rhapsody.tlb message is displayed and you cannot
begin the installation again until you log in as an administrator.
If you are installing Rational Rhapsody on
the Windows 7 operating system:
- Normally, when you install the product on the Windows 7 operating system the installation
files are subject to the same redirection method as mentioned in the
previous note about installing on the Windows Vista
operating system. Some files are written in the default installation
directory and other files in the USERS directory. If you want to install
all the files in one specific directory (to which you have full permission),
add an environment variable called IgnoreAllUsersProfile to
the list of system variables for your workstation before you install
the product. Set the value for the IgnoreAllUsersProfile variable
to TRUE. You can add this system environment variable
through the Windows System
Properties window.
- To be able to install the product when you are not logged on with
administrator privileges but you know the credentials for an administrative
account, ensure that the User Account Control window is enabled to open.
During the installation process, it is on this window that you enter
the credentials for an administrative account. Set the User Account
Control Settings window to Always Notify. For
more information about the User Account Control Settings window, see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-are-User-Account-Control-settings.
Procedure

- Either accept the default destination folder
for the installation or browse to select a different path. After you
set your installation path, click Next.
- If enabled, select the Java development environment for your computer
and set the path to the location for it, and then click Next.
- For Rational Rhapsody Developer
only: If enabled, select your development environments and set
the paths to those environments, and click Next.
An asterisk (*) next to a development environment choice means that
the installation wizard found it on your machine.
- Select any of the add-on products listed
on the Add-on Installation page, depending on if it they are available
for the edition of Rational Rhapsody you
are installing. As well, some add-on products might already be selected
depending on your edition. Click Next.
Note: Some of these add-on products require separately purchased
licenses.
- Rational Rhapsody Gateway
Add On - Requirements Traceability connects Rational Rhapsody to IBM Rational DOORS®, IBM Rational RequisitePro®,
and other requirements authoring tools provided by other vendors for
requirements traceability throughout the lifetime of a project, and
to navigate online between the design and the requirements. Basic
export to Rational DOORS and Rational RequisitePro is
included in base products. Advanced bidirectional Rational DOORS and Rational RequisitePro synchronization,
impact analysis, coverage analysis, and integration with other authoring
tools is included with the IBM Rational Rhapsody Tools
and Utilities Add On.
- Rational Rhapsody XMI
Toolkit - XML Metadata Interchange imports and exports
model information to or from other tools and is part of the Rational Rhapsody Tools
and Utilities Add On.
