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.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** 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 http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27013777
