There are two ways to put WebSphere® MQ installation
files on a LAN server for easier access:
- You can make the WebSphere MQ Server
CD-ROM drive shareable
- You can copy the installation files from the CD to a server. To
do this, use the following steps:
- Create a folder on the LAN server to store the installation
files. For example:
md m:\instmqs
- Load the WebSphere MQ Server
CD. If autorun is enabled, the WebSphere MQ Installation Launchpad window
is displayed. Select Cancel to close this window.
- Copy the entire CD to the installation folder. For example:
xcopy e:\*.* m:\instmqs /e
- Give all licensed users access to the folder that now contains
the CD image. In this example, users need access to the m: drive.
- From a remote machine:
- Map the shared resource to a drive letter. You can use the net
use command, or Windows® Explorer.
- Change to the installation folder.
- Type setup, then press Enter.
The WebSphere MQ Launchpad is now launched.
