APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • MSXML 4.0 is a necessary requirement for the installation of
    ReqPro. However, it not listed in the System Requirements.
    
    This is an issue because the System Requirements indicate that
    ReqPro is supported on Windows 7 which does not come with MSXML
    4.0 by default (it comes with MSXML 6 instead).
    
    Windows 7 users will need to install MSXML 4.0 from Microsoft's
    website in order to successfully install ReqPro.

    USERS AFFECTED:
    Users who install Rational RequisitePro in Microsoft Windows
    7 or Microsoft Server 2008 and newer
    
    PROBLEM DESCRIPTION :
    When setting up environments using Windows 7 or 2008 and
    newer, the Rational RequisitePro installation process fail
    showing errors related with MSXML 4.0
    

Problem conclusion

  • The most recent versions of the Microsoft Windows Operating
    system include the Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML)
    version 6 which is not compatible with RequisitePro.
    Rational RequisitePro requires MSXML 4 and the System
    Requirements documentation for the Rational RequisitePro now
    includes this dependency
    This can be verified in the link
