I did *not* explicitly install any RSE
Comment 1 Vivian Kong CLA 2010-10-26 11:48:24 EDT 
You need to select and install the RSE feature from Helios.

The RSE dependencies specified in RDT are the minimal set of funcationalities we need once a RSE connection is established.  You need to install the RSE feature in order to create a RSE connection successfully.
Comment 2 Beth Tibbitts CLA 2010-10-26 13:41:33 EDT 
Yes but can it give me a message telling me something's missing?
or even better, up the ante on the dependencies so it gets everything it needs?
Comment 3 Vivian Kong CLA 2010-10-26 14:02:30 EDT 
I've added the dependency on the RSE feature in RDT.
