DAR Error When Creating Repository on Documentum 6.6 Windows 2008

When creating a new repository on Documentum 6.6 for Windows 2008 64bit with MSSQL 2008, you will encounter an error indicating that there are 3 DARs that failed to install (actually there are 4 failed but the "preset" is not shown).

This is due to a bug in composer that is fixable by Composer_6.6_CMPSR-3056_Hot_Fix.zip. This patch currently is not for public release and you need to raise a service request to get the file using Powerlink account.

I did try to work without this patch, and the solution is to install the DARs manually using installer from:

appname="c:\documentum\product\6.6\install\composer\ComposerHeadless\darinstaller.exe"
location="c:\documentum\product\6.6\install\DarsInternal"
dar files="presets, smart container, dmsclient, webtop"
