Perhaps you didn't read it correctly. Your error message clearly indicates that you are trying to install a patch and the installer can't find the program to apply to patch to.
 
Hi,
Thanks again. If you know the link for rational rose please guide me. I want to install rational rose on my computer. Somebody please tell me the link to download the rational rose software.

Rational Rose is an IBM product and you can download a free trial copy. Trial copies have limited time periods and will expire meaning you will have to buy a copy to continue using it.

Hi,
Thanks for providing me this link. I have downloaded:
Rational Modeler for Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, Windows Vista Ultimate, Windows XP
Rational Modeler Rhapsody Corporate Edition V7.5.0 for Windows
English
2009-06-02

Can somebody tell me how is it different from rational rose?? How can i get the actual rational rose software?

Zulfi.
 
Why do you want Rational Rose? It's a bit out-dated.
 
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Actually i have to teach to the students. I have heard lot about it. I think its a standard tool use by professional organizations. How you say its outdated? Is there no new version of rational rose? What tool is used in its place? Please guide me.

Zulfi.

There was a time when it was common but I haven't really seen anyone use it or heard of it for nearly 6 years now. There exist other modeling tools that. Dia or EMF are two common replacements for it now a days.

Hi,
Thanks for this information. Although I have installed the IBM Rational Modeller on my office computer but when i am installing it on my home its giving me license problem. Maybe i have to try by creating another ibm id & reinstall. Thanks for your support & guidance.

Zulfi.
