How to install Rational Rose on Windows XP Home Edition
How to install Rational Rose on Windows XP Home Edition?
If you are trying to do it, you probably get the following message:
“We are attempting to install on an unsupported operating system. We recommend that you install on a supported operating system. See your Rational product’s Release Notes for a complete list of supported operating systems and service packs.”
Fortunately, this restriction is artificial one. You can turn it off.
- Start -> Run -> cmd
- Go to the directory where Rational is installed (example, cd C:/Program Files/Rational)
- Find Rose.msi file. Usually it’s located in the SETUP folder. It can be called 1041_Rose.msi or something very similar.
- Type msiexec.exe /l*vx inst.log /i Rose.msi /c DISABLE_PLATFORM_BLOCKS=1
