Problem is most likely \common directory was not properly added
to your path doing the install process. Some reasons this
might happen,

 - user did not reboot with the same user name to finish the installation
 - path statement is greater than 255 characters
 - path contains an invalid entry (paths after this are ignored)
 - more than one path

Usual solution is to check your path and ensure that the \common
directory is the FIRST entry in your path (by placing it first,
this will eliminate some potential problems such as invalid entries
in front of it in the path).  And that you only have one PATH statement.

Check the following:

On Windows 9x;
Manually add the path to the PATH statement in autoexec.bat.
For the changes to take effect reboot the computer.

EXAMPLE:
Current path;
PATH=C:\windows;C:\windows\command

Add the path to the common directory.
PATH=C:\Progra~1\Rational\common;C:\windows;C:\windows\command

NOTE:
Included the short pathname in the path statement:
When installing on SOME win95/98 machines it has been found that the PATH
needs to be setup in the autoexec.bat file so it is 8.3 compatible!

PATH=C:\PROGRAM~1\RATIONAL\COMMON

NOT

PATH="C:\PROGRAM FILES\RATIONAL\COMMON"

If the path doesn't adhere to DOS 8.3 rule you need to put the path within
double quotes (").

On NT;
Add the path to the PATH statement in your system environment.
Open Control Panel::System::Environment tab.
Locate the PATH variable in the System Variables window.
Edit the path.

EXAMPLE:
Current path;
PATH=C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\system32

Add the path to the common directory.
PATH=C:\Program Files\Rational\common;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\system32;
