Installing Industry Models Utilities

IBM Industry Models Utilities are installed as Eclipse features in Rational Software Architect (RSA) or in a co-shelled installation where multiple IBM software is installed into the same (Installation Manager) package group.

For more information, see IBM Software products installed together that share a common environment.

Note: if you installed RSA to the C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) folder in Windows, run RSA as administrator when you install or uninstall features such as IBM Industry Models Utilities. To run RSA as administrator, close RSA, right-click RSA in the Windows Start menu and click Run as administrator.

Before you install the Industry Models Utilities, uninstall previously installed Industry Models Utilities features, including older versions (see Uninstalling Industry Models Utilities).
