Before you begin

Ensure that you are logged on as a user with Administrator privileges.
To review the levels of Rational Application Developer that are supported by WebSphere Commerce Developer, see WebSphere Commerce Developer Version 7 software requirements. To determine the level of Rational Application Developer install, see Recommended fixes and settings for WebSphere Commerce Version 7.

Important:

There are 2 paths created during the installation: the Shared Resources Directory and the Installation Directory. Do not accept the default installation paths. Specify short directory names such as C:\RAD75\SDP for Installation Directory and C:\RAD75\SDPShared for Shared Resources Directory.
The default installation path is too long for configuration with the WebSphere Commerce toolkit.
Also, avoid using periods ("."), spaces, or dollar signs ("$") in the directory names.
