Installing Rational Application Developer for websphere asked for disks - websphere-portal

I downloaded RAD 8 for websphere from Developer works website.
Amidst its installation, it prompted for disk 1,2&3. But i could find 'em nowhere in the RAD_SETUP folder.
Where to get those disks?

There's more ZIPs you need to get from Developer Works that are the installation disks.

SQL Server CE 4.0 Embeded Deployment Issues

Can someone point me in the right direction? I am developing an application where I am using SQL Server CE as an imbedded database. To do so, I put the “7 Dlls” that comprise the CE edition in the same folder as the EXE file along with System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll and then in code registered the COM objects. Wow, I was so pleased because everything worked. Being careful, I wanted to confirm all was well and uninstalled the SQL Server CE that I used for development. Fine! The app still worked. Going a step further I removed the 7 Dlls, leaving only System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll. I expected then to see that the application crashed. I was astonished because the application still worked. I then did a Windows folder search of my entire computer to find the 7 Dlls. The search found nothing, so I’m puzzled as to why.
I do have a local installation of SQL Server 19 on my computer. Is it possible the app is using some of the files in SQL Server 19? I’m at the end of my wits.
I have tried to find another app trhat uses CE and have searched for files that may have been installed. I also did a registry search and found nothing.
My goal is to deploy this Windows desktop program with confidence it will function properly.
Thanks for any help with my problem.

I Cannot Install SQL Server 2019 Express. It gets stuck on Offline Installation of Microsoft Machine Learning Server Components

I'm trying to install SQL Server 2019 Express on my laptop. I initially click on custom to start and everything seems to go smooth up to the point where it's at the Offline Installation of Microsoft Machine Learning Server Components section.
When I get there I get a screenshot that looks like this:
From this point on I cannot figure out what to do next. I tried creating a directory, downloading all of the files listed to that directory, and enter that directory in the Install Path line. But when I do that the Next button still is disabled.
So what is the next step?
Thanks for any help
Download the 4 cab files below (same links in your screenshot):
SRO_3.5.2.125_1033.cab
SRS_9.4.7.25_1033.cab
SPO_4.5.12.120_1033.cab
SPS_9.4.7.25_1033.cab
then, create a new folder MLMcServer in your C: drive C:\MLMcServer.
Put the 4 files there without extracting them
Finally, return to the installation dialog and browse to the location of the created folder C:\MLMcServer
You, No need the Machine Learning Services – Offline. you can untick Machine Learning Services in the feature session. Otherwise, you need that. You have to download the correct files that match the version of SQL you're installing. The files you're using from that link provided will not work since it is an older version and you are installing 2019, have you tried: learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/advanced-analytics/install/sql-ml-component-install-without-internet-access?view=sql-server-ver15 Those are the current files for 2019 RTM.
Anyone using a SQL Server installer in another language should know that downloading the files and placing them in a folder for the installer to detect will not work. What worked for me is to use the English installer.
If you want you can use the SQL Server installer in another language, but uncheck the features of Microsoft Machine Learning Server; When you have finished installing the SQL Server instance and the other features, you must now run the installer in English, select that you want to add features to an existing instance, mark the missing features of Microsoft Machine Learning Server and go through the steps of downloading the files and place them in a folder, select the folder where the four files are and the Next button will work correctly.
Downloading the .cab files, does not work.
Downloading the .iso files, does not work.
Only solution is moving the client to mySQL, where they should have been all along.
Not being lead around the nose by Microsoft.

problem downloading IBM Watson Studio Desktop Trial for Microsoft Windows 64-bit

I have tried twice to download IBM Watson Studio Desktop Trial for Microsoft Windows 64-bit. It's 3.3 GB and on my slow internet connection it takes many hours. The 1st time, the download just stopped about halfway through. The 2nd time, the download was only at 1.7 GB but said it was done. When I clicked on IBMWatsonStudio_x64.exe it said the file was corrupt.
I'm a Data Scientist and am quite interested in trying IBM Watson Studio Desktop Trial for Microsoft Windows 64-bit but can't get past this 1st step. Help!
Your operating system should be Windows 10 Enterprise or Professional otherwise, it will not execute the installed file. If os is suitable for the installation, then you need to check your internet connection, it is better to have fast internet for such big files.

How do I install Oracle Enterprise Repository 12c on Macbook?

I am trying to install the Oracle SOA stack of products on my MacBook but I am stuck at one very crucial point. Need a database on my machine for OER but cannot figure out what to do?
Here is what I have already done:
Successfully installed Oracle SOA Suite 12c
I have downloaded OER
I have tried installing Oracle Database 12c, with Linux version even though as there is no download choice for Mac. I faced following error : ./runInstaller: line 252: /Users/madhu/Oracle/product/18.0.0/dbhome_1/install/.oui: cannot execute binary file
I checked supported database for OER but did not find MySQL or SQLlite or any other product than Oracle and Microsoft SQL server.
Microsoft SQL server is obviously not supported in MacOS
So at the as for OER a database is essential and I cannot install any supported database on MacBook.
Can you please help me?
Even if the installer script doesn't instantly fail, that doesn't mean that the Linux version of ODB 12c will magically work on OS X.
Install ODB or SQL Server on something else and configure OER to connect to it. That "something else" can be a virtual machine running on your Mac.
Install VirtualBox (or your preferred hypervisor);
Install Linux or Windows on a virtual machine;
Install and configure Oracle Database or SQL Server on that VM;
Consult the manual to configure networking for your virtual machine so the database is accessible from your host machine.
WebLogic will run on the Mac but FMW/SOA will not - at least not stable. Neither will the database.
& I know I teach/install/admin these products and am a certified Oracle trainer. I’ve tried...my time was worth more than it took to try and get it to work outside a vm-natively. I assume yours is too.
Unless you are actively trying to learn how to install them, then yes #backgammon is right, install them in a VM.
BUT, if you just want to use them and are not as interested in installation, then use one of the prebuilt -preconfigured FMW virtual box images here that will run on the Mac under virtual box.
Then Install OER in that image.
But, be advised OER is no longer sold by Oracle, even though it’s available for download.
It has been replaced by the API cloud service product.

How can I install SQL Server Express 2008 with Advanced Services?

Has anyone successfully installed SQL Server Express 2008 with Advanced Services?
I've tried several times and half way through the installation I always get the error:
The downloaded file appears to be corrupt.
I found this thread on MSDN but it seems that no one there could get it to work. They were only successful in installing the 'SQL Server 2008 Express with Tools' (default) option.
I need to have Full-text Search so I need the 'Advanced Services' option. If anyone has successfully installed this then would be they so kind as to share the method used?
My experience in XP Pro SP3 and how I got through it. I went to the download page and clicked on the download link to install any version which downloads a bootstrapper (SQLEXP32_x86_ENU_Bootstraper.exe) which if you select the advanced services edition fails to load the install file (SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe) . After many headaches,disk cleanup, etc. I tried the link for the specific advanced services edition. This downloads the file (SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe) itself which can then be run. I had to run it from the command prompt, but that's probably just my persinickety system. At any rate, while there are probably more problems ahead, at least this get the installer running. It comes up with the SQL Server Installation and you have to step through it manually.
BTW I tried to post this to the social.microsoft site but couldn't log in.
Just curious if you've tried re-downloading the file from Microsoft's servers? If I remember right there was a 'blip' where some of the files posted to the servers were, in fact, corrupt.
I agree with Thomas that there are some really funny things going on with XP SP3 and SQL Server 2008 installs, particularly if you use a non-English locale. But the log files in that case should yield problems indicating an MSXML 6 problem (due to the MSXML files becoming protected), not a corrupt download file.
If you download the file again and run it, can you post the contents of the most recent Summary*.txt file you find on your C: drive? Just search for summary*.txt and it should be in a folder like...
%Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\Setup Bootstrap\Log\
...(but I forget exactly where Express puts this). This log file may yield better errors than the handful of exceptions the GUI has been coded to handle.

as of Nov 2009 the SQLEXPRADVx86ENU.exe claims to be 502M on the download page, but downloads as 356M, and does not execute. This happens on both a T1 and a DSL connection, so I'm fairly sure it's not the download failing.
I was able to install the "Runtime with Advanced Services" by using the unpleasantly painful Web Platform Installer.
