It sounds like you need to refresh the registry keys.  Use the Path Manager
utility to refresh the Tivoli Decision Support registry keys.  Performing
the following steps:

a. Navigate to the Tivoli Decision Support Discovery Administrator
installation folder.
        The default folder is c:\Program Files\TDS
b. Double-click PathManager.exe.
c. On the Tools menu, click Refresh Registry
d. Click OK on the message box informing you that the registry keys were
refreshed.
e. Click Exit.

That should do the trick. Try the install again..........

Problem:
Loaded TSM Decision Support V4.2.0 Loaded and configured and populated
a MSSQL DB with the 1st set of data.

Tried installing Decision Support for Storage Management Analysis V
4.2.0 and I get
message: UNABLE TO FIND REGISTRY ENTRY FOR TDS GUIDES CANNOT BE
INSTALLED.

Workaround anyone?
Also, anyone use the loader and analysis tools, and any comments?
