Getting The Application Server installation directory is not correct in RAD 9.0.1

While Adding Websphere Portal 8 Server in RAD 9.0.1 results in "The Application Server installation directory is not correct" error.Can you please let me know how to solve this issue.
Check this link Adding Portal 8 Server in RAD 9.0.1 results in "The Application Server installation directory is not correct" error
Potential causes include:
- You have not selected the WebSphere Portal Server 8.0 on WebSphere Application
Server 8.5 adapter.
Note: You may have mistakenly selected the WebSphere Portal 8.0 Server adapter or
you may not even have the WebSphere Portal Server 8.0 on WebSphere Application
Server 8.5 adapter available to choose from in RAD.
- You are not providing the right installation directory for your Portal or WAS
server. The WAS server you are pointing to which is to be used with Portal 8
is not compatible with Portal.
Note: You must be using a WAS ND server
Ensure you have the WebSphere Portal Server 8.0 on WebSphere Application Server 8.5 adapter and not the WebSphere Portal 8.0 adapter.
If you do not see the correct adapter available:
Close RAD
Open IBM Installation Manager
Click Modify > Select the RAD 9.0.1 package group > Next > Next.
You should now be on the feature selection page.
Under the Server tools section, ensure to have the Development tools and the Remote server stub installed for the Portal version and
WAS version you are looking to install
For example: If you are looking to install Portal 8 with WAS 8.5.x, ensure you have the Development tools and the Remote server stub also installed for the WebSphere Portal Server 8.0 on WebSphere
Application Server 8.5 option
Click Next > Modify

IBM Worklight server

I have a question regarding how to install worklight server on top of websphere application server in unix environment.
I have a worklight project war file and I have to deploy this war file in websphere server.
As Gas mentioned, your answer is found online. Because WebSphere is Java-based, the instructions are likely to be the same no matter the operating system used. You should follow the instructions provided in the IBM Worklight Knowledge Center.
Assuming you are running the latest IBM Worklight 6.2.0.01 release, you can read the instructions here: Installing Worklight Server

Installing MQ Messenger

I have zero experience with Websphere MQ Messenger. I need to build a .NET application that will read from an 7.1 MQ Series queue, manipulate the message and write it to another queue.
I want to try and build a POC to do this. Is it possible to install a Websphere MQ server and client on a non networked Windows 7 machine to build this POC. If so, what MQ software do I need and are their trial versions available?
Thanks
You can install WebSphere MQ on a stand alone machine. Both queue manager and your .NET application must run on the same machine in that case. Download WMQ v7.5 server installation from IBM site. While installing choose to install Windows Client also. Server component is installed by default. After installation use WebSphere MQ Explorer to create queue manager. Many .NET samples are shipped with the product and you can find them in tools directory of WMQ. installation.

Websphere that comes with RAD

We have some of our Java applications running over WebSphere 5.1 at work. I'm in the process of trying to get my development environment set up.
Thus far I am thinking...
Spring STS
Eclipse Developer tools for WebSphere Application Server version 7.0
WebSphere Application Server 7.0 Developers Edition
I believe Websphere 7.0 should be okay because we are using J2EE 1.3.
I did however manage to get my hands on a trial version of RAD with came shipped with WebSphere Application Server 5.1 however we don't plan to buy a license.
Can anyone give me advice as to whether I will be breaching licensing agreements if I rip out WAS 5.1 which came shipped with RAD? Is the version that came shipped with RAD a developer edition?
Thanks
If you're concerned about licensing, go ask your manager or team lead. The way IBM handles licensing can vary greatly between products, your company's relationship with IBM and how you initially purchased the product. Someone within your company should know about the license agreement your company has with IBM.
I know that for my current project we can have an instance of WAS running on our local machines for free. Every time we need to setup a new shared environment, like Test or Production, that's when we need to pay for a new license. That may be the same situation for you but that's not something anyone here can really answer.

The installation guide you want should be there.
since WebSphere 8.0 the default install process should be done using IBM Installation manager.
IM FAQ: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/rational/installmgr/faq.html
Download latest IM from: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24032358
After that all you have to do is launch the Installation Manager and point a repository to your WebSphere download directory. IM will than have a step by step wizard that will guide you through the installation process.
