The Replace files with newer versions in English check box is selected when you have installed earlier versions of shared files that are localized to a non-U.S. English language. If you clear this check box, you can save and print the list of files that need to be updated. You will need to update the files yourself. v There may be a later version of the files available. IBM Rational products should work with the supplied version of shared files or any later versions. Backup guidelines You should back up your registry and system directories prior to running the IBM Rational Rose Setup program. In addition, make system backups of any machines on which you plan to install Rose. Specifically, we recommend you make backups of the following files: v Model files - You should always have a back up of all your model files. These can include files that end with .mdl,.cat,.ptl, .red, and .sub files. - Custom property files (files that end with .pty or .prp) - There is no need to save .pty files that ship with Rose, because these will be reinstalled. - Custom script files (files that end with .ebs or .ebx) - There is no need to save .ebs or .ebx files that ship with Rose, since these will be reinstalled. v Path Maps Rose path map variables are saved in the registry. To backup path map variables: 1. Run regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Rational Software\Rose\Virtual Path Map. 2. On the Registry menu, click Export Registry File.... (On Windows XP, select File > Export... as there is no Registry and Export Registry File menu.) To restore path map variables: 1. Run regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Rational Software\Rose\Virtual Path Map. 2. On the Registry menu, click Import Registry File... and import the file you exported. (On Windows XP, select File > Import... as there is no Registry and Import Registry File menu.) Version compatibility guidelines If you have older IBM Rational products installed on your system, you must ensure that all IBM Rational products on that system are upgraded to the same version. Because IBM Rational tools share files and components, a new installation can cause the older IBM Rational products to stop working. You will see no visual clue that the older products may be compromised. Installing a variant on the same desktop If multiple variants of Rational Rose are installed on a single Windows desktop, you can only run the last variant installed. For example, if you install Rose Modeler Edition, and then install Rose Professional J Edition, you can only run the Rose Professional J variant. Adding the IBM Rational directory to your user path When installing Rose on Microsoft Windows 2000, Rose might not run until you add the Rational\Common directory to your user path. Use the following procedure to add the directory to your user path: Chapter 1. Planning the installation 3

Backup
guidelines
You
should
back
up
your
registry
and
system
directories
prior
to
running
the
IBM
Rational
Rose
Setup
program.
In
addition,
make
system
backups
of
any
machines
on
which
you
plan
to
install
Rose.
Specifically,
we
recommend
you
make
backups
of
the
following
files:
v
Model
files
–
You
should
always
have
a
back
up
of
all
your
model
files.
These
can
include
files
that
end
with
.mdl,.cat,.ptl,
.red,
and
.sub
files.
–
Custom
property
files
(files
that
end
with
.pty
or
.prp)
–
There
is
no
need
to
save
.pty
files
that
ship
with
Rose,
because
these
will
be
reinstalled.
–
Custom
script
files
(files
that
end
with
.ebs
or
.ebx)
–
There
is
no
need
to
save
.ebs
or

since
these
will
be
reinstalled.

Version
compatibility
guidelines
If
you
have
older
IBM
Rational
products
installed
on
your
system,
you
must
ensure
that
all
IBM
Rational
products
on
that
system
are
upgraded
to
the
same
version.
Because
IBM
Rational
tools
share
files
and
components,
a
new
installation
can
cause
the
older
IBM
Rational
products
to
stop
working.
You
will
see
no
visual
clue
that
the
older
products
may
be
compromised.
Installing
a
variant
on
the
same
desktop
If
multiple
variants
of
Rational
Rose
are
installed
on
a
single
Windows
desktop,
you
can
only
run
the
last
variant
installed.
For
example,
if
you
install
Rose
Modeler
Edition,
and
then
install
Rose
Professional
J
Edition,
you
can
only
run
the
Rose
Professional
J
variant.
Adding
the
IBM
Rational
directory
to
your
user
path
When
installing
Rose
on
Microsoft
Windows
2000,
Rose
might
not
run
until
you
add
the
Rational\Common
directory
to
your
user
path.
Use
the
following
procedure
to
add
the
directory
to
your
user
path:
