Environment:
===========
TIBCO ActiveMatrix Adapter for IBM I 5.x, 6.0
TIBCO Rendezvous Software 8.x x64
TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.7.x x64
Windows 2008 x86_64 (64bit)

The dependency check for TIBCO Rendezvous Software failed and the installation of the adapter cannot proceed with the following output on the adapter installer window.

Runtime Environment requires that product TIBCO Rendezvous Software 8.1.1 already be installed on the system.  
Design Time Environment requires that product TIBCO Rendezvous Software 8.1.1 already be installed on the system.

Cause:
===========
On Windows 2008 x86-64 (64bit), the installation of 64-bit TIBCO Rendezvous Software does not create key ‘rvd.exe’ in Windows Registry under ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\’

Resolution:
===========
Create key ‘rvd.exe’ manually with the following steps.

1). Launch ‘regedit’ (Start menu -> Run -> input ‘regedit’).

2). Go to ‘HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\’.

3). Right click folder ‘App Paths’ and execute ‘New -> Key’.

4). Rename the new key to ‘rvd.exe’.

5). Modify the default string value that comes with the newly created key and specify its value to &ltTIBCO Rendezvous Software_HOME>\&ltVersion>\bin\rvd.exe. For example ‘C:\tibco64/tibrv/8.4\bin\rvd.exe’.

6). Create a new string value on the key and rename it to ‘Path’ and specify its value to &ltTIBCO Rendezvous Software_HOME>\&ltVersion>\bin. For example ‘C:\tibco64/tibrv/8.4\bin’

7). Launch the adapter installer.
