Lotus Workplace 2.0 installation...08/09/2004 04:56:06 PM

I'm currently in the process of installing Lotus Workplace 2.0.

Here is how its been going:

August 2 - Download from IBM Software Mall.
August 3 - Download from IBM Software Mall.
August 4 - Download from IBM Software Mall.
August 5 - First crack at installation.
August 5 - Getting stimied by which disc to use.

The first big hurdle I had was pulling down all the CD images. There are 35 parts for the whole LWP install set. I didn't need all of it, so I picked only those parts I thought I needed. Just let me say that the next time I try to install a big product, I'm ordering the discs.

The problem with the cd images is that they don't match up to the installation prompts. When the prompts comes up: insert disc labled CD1-1, I don't have an image named that. What it wants is: Certain Components of WebSphere Application Server Enterprise for Windows.

I found a page in the LWP 2.0 Install redbook that has a listing of descriptions to cd label. It can be found starting on page 87(chapter 6). Silly me, I was looking for such a list in chapter one!
