* CustomPac Installation Dialog. AFAIK you *cannot* install Dialog from
filesystem. You can install it from tape or directly from IBM (via
Internet). When you downloaded order to workstation the only option
available is to upgrade existing Dialog. Upgrade, no full installation.
Is't it funny?
I'll forward your comments along to the team.
For this one, though, since we built the download code into the dialog
itself, we thought it safe to assume you had a copy of it already. So,
we did not see the need to allow a first-time installation path for it.
Since I wrote that design (quite some time ago), I have never heard
anyone find it odd until now!
We probably should have documented a recovery path, in retrospect, in
case someone's existing dialog went missing or did not work. (Everyone
has at least two copies of the dialog, one in the "master" data sets and
another in the order-specific data sets. You can recover from bad
master data sets by copying the order data sets' content into them.)
