I ran the Thinkpad Software Installer, but it seems only checks the local path for the available updated softwares. the default local path are:
C:\DRIVERS
C:\IBMTOOLS
I made a check for my thinkpad.
The current version is 2.52.0501
I didn't run either IBM Update Connector nor Thinkpad Software Installer successfully before. I'm not sure what the difference is between these 2 applications.
However, I found an article at ibm.com which describs a new version(3.21.0601) of Thinkpad Software Installer.
