IBM installation manager 1.8.4 cannot find any packages to install - ibm-installation-manager

I’m installing the Websphere Fix pack 8.5.5.12 in our Redhat Linux 6 environment using IBM Installation Manager 1.8.4.
I can start IM and add the repository using the typical steps but for some reason its not picking it up.
I add the repository as follows via the preferences,
/rational/rational/Was855_FP012/
I save the changes and the repository shows but when I go back to the main IM window and hit 1. to install I get,
IBM installation manager 1.8.4 cannot find any packages to install
This directory includes the repository.config file as part of extract of all 3 files
8.5.5-WS-WAS-FP012-part1.zip
8.5.5-WS-WAS-FP012-part2.zip
8.5.5-WS-WAS-FP012-part3.zip
previously we installed the WAS85511 patch using the same method and installed successfully
Also the user owns both the installation manager folder and the repository folders.
Environment details:
IBM Installation Manager
Version: 1.8.4
Internal version: 1.8.4000.20151125_0201
Architecture: 64-bit
WAS FP downloads:
8.5.5-WS-WAS-FP012-part1.zip
8.5.5-WS-WAS-FP012-part2.zip
8.5.5-WS-WAS-FP012-part3.zip
Redhat Linux 6
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I was installing from the wrong installation manager instance /rational/imcl-1.8.4/tools/imcl
Had to run from the IM which installed the original Websphere instance and Fix packs.
using /app/IBM/IM/eclipse/tools/
./imcl -c
Also instead of using option 1. to install. Must use option 2. to UPDATE for this particular package.
for certain versions of Websphere you must use a silent install or command line install to install the package and bypass the interactive mode.
For 8.5.5.11 we had to run
/app/IBM/IM/eclipse/tools/./imcl install
com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85_8.5.5012.20170627_1018 -repositories
/rational/Was855_FP012 -installationDirectory /app/IBM/WAS85 -
acceptLicense -sP
which translates to
/app/IBM/YourIMInstall/./imcl install
com.ibm.websphere.ND.v85_8.5.5012.20170627_1018 -repositories
/yourRepolocation -installationDirectory /yourWASInstallPath/
acceptLicense -sP
After the installation completes run the following command to confirm the update
/app/IBM/WAS85/bin/./versionInfo.sh
[appadm#myServer bin]$ ./versionInfo.sh

Install Phalcon on RHEL 7

I'm trying to install Phalcon on my RHEL 7 VM. I downloaded files and folders from GitHub and place them on my VM via WinSCP in /opt/ (using remi repo or git clone from VM is blocked)
When I move into /opt/phalcon/build/ and try to sudo ./install, I got a notice that PHP 5 is no longer supported, currently on my Red Hat, I have PHP 7.3.11 version running (checked using php -v and config page).
I installed things like php-devel or gcc.
I have rh-php73-php installed and running on my VM
Maybe someone can help me, because I have no idea how to fix it.
I have rh-php73-php installed and running on my VM
Sorry, but phalcon extension package doesn't exist for this PHP stack.
Using the full php stack from "remi-php73" repository or php73 SCL from "remi-safe" will give you "php-phalcon4" package with latest version of this extension.
using remi repo or git clone from VM is blocked
Use a proxy, or download packages and install them manually.
Tips: test installation from another computer, connected to internet, to get the full package list. You can even retrieve them later from /var/cache/yum (using keepcache=1 in yum.conf)
For memory, for a proper installation, follow the Wizard instructions

vcredist_x86.exe can't be installed in container built from mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:10.0.14393.3506

After KB4537764 upgrade, our container can't be launched in winserver 2016.
I followed MS support to upgrade our base image to mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:10.0.14393.3506. But it turns out that vcredist_x86.exe can't be installed on it.
Our application depends on vcredist_x86.exe. How to install it in latest windows container?
I run the same install command on a new docker host with KB4537764 installed, vcredist_x86 can be installed.
If the docker host has no KB4537764 installed, this issue will happen.
Thanks Hans Passant. I should have used below command to check
Get-ItemProperty HKLM:SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*|select DisplayName, DisplayVersion, Publisher, InstallDate|Format-Table;

Install Mono Offline

I'm looking for offline installation package for mono on centOS or Redhat.
I want to run *.exe file on Linux.
All I find is using online repositories but my server is not connected to the internet.
You did not say which version of Mono you are looking for, but you can manually download the most recent "stable" centOS rpm packages from:
http://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos/
i.e. The current mono-core 64bit .rpm is under m/mono-core:
http://download.mono-project.com/repo/centos/m/mono-core/mono-core-4.8.0.495-0.xamarin.1.x86_64.rpm
Once you have all the rpms that you need downloaded and copied to your offline server, you can use yum to install them...

Can't install CloudBees SDK onto Windows 8

I seem to have some problems initialising the CloudBees SDK locally to be able to run a simple application.
I've downloaded the SDK, added the required paths; everything ok up to the point where I am trying to execute the bees run command from my newly created application folder.
The error I get seems related to the JDK installation on my computer - JAVA_HOME is pointing to C:\Program Files\Java\jre7 and not to jdk .
I've checked all the local PATHS and they seem ok.
By the way I am using Windows 8.0 Enterprise 64 bit.
Fully uninstalling Java from my system followed by installing only the 64bit version and recreating System paths seems to have fixed the problem.

Creating a Mono binary install package for CentOS 5.2

I'm new to Linux but have to port a asp.net app to Linux platform. (CentOS 5.2)
I downloaded the mono source files and manually build them on my dev box, because there's no aviable Binary package for CentOS 5.2 (almost the same as RedHat), the app works well on the dev box.
The next step is to setup the production server, which has minimal libraries installed.
My question is... how to make the Mono binary files into a install package so I don't need to download and build them in the production server.
(My dev box is the same configuration as the production one)
I have tried to copy all mono related files into the server, but with no luck... May I missed some files or some settings...
You can still get binary RPMS here
EDIT:
Recently, Mono announced support for RHEL/CentOS. You can get packages from them here.
