Update Installation Manager using wizard mode

See also: Update Installation Manager using imcl commands We can update Installation Manager without uninstalling packages using either service repositories or a downloaded fix pack:

• For service repositories, we need an Internet connection on the computer where the update is performed. If we use service repositories, the Installation Manager is updated to the latest version. To update to a version that is not the latest, we must download the files for that version.

• For downloaded files, from the Installation Manager download links page, download fix pack...
  com.ibm.cic.agent.offering​​_version.zip​

  The download document contains details about downloading the installation files. The fix pack package is larger than the installation kit. If we are updating Installation Manager on one platform, consider using the installation kit...

  agent.installer.platform​​_version.zip

We cannot add the installation kit to the list of repositories in Installation Manager. We cannot add the repository.config file from the Installation Manager installation files as a repository to update Installation Manager. We must update Installation Manager to a later version. We cannot roll back to an earlier version.
