Installation instructions

The Hot-Fix includes an automatic hot-fix installer batch file called apply_hot-fix.bat. The batch file:

       Renames the earlier versions of the WLLs and DLLs to create backup copies

       Copies the new WLLs and DLLs into the proper directory

       Registers the updated DLLs

NOTE : It is not necessary for you to make backup copies of your original files because the batch does this for you.
            If you do make your own copies, you must keep the original files, with their original names, in the original location, so the hot-fix installer can find them.

 

To install the hot-fix, you extract the contents of a zip file and then run the batch file.

When you run the batch file, you will be prompted for two parameters:

       Your Rational install path

       Extension to use to rename original files.

To install this hot-fix:

1.              Extract the contents of the zip file into a temporary directory (for example c:\soda_hotfix).

2.              Run the batch file apply_hot-fix.bat from a local or mapped network drive (do not use a UNC file path).

You can do this from either the Windows Explorer or from the MS-DOS Command prompt in the batch file location. You must use a local or mapped network drive.
