Hi All,

I am have 81 datastage already installed on my machine and want to install 87 now. When i was trying to install it is giving a warning near

The corrected version of MKS Toolkit must already be present or MKS Toolkit must not be present at all

Any idea?

Thanks
Raji

Are you trying to replace 8.1 with 8.7, or install them side by side?

If the former, delete MKS Toolkit and allow the install program to install the correct version.

Indeed, you may need to do this in the latter case too, and hope that 8.1 can work properly with the newer version of MKS Toolkit.

I need both the versions to be there as i have jobs in 81 and 87.

Disable MKS Toolkit older version, then do an itag installation of 8.7, which should install a newer version of MKS Toolkit. Then hope that MKS Toolkit is sufficiently backwards compatible that 8.1 will work with the new version.

Alternately stand up a second server on which to install 8.7.
