To install a WebSphere MQ client, you must be logged on to Windows(R) as an administrator.
WebSphere MQ checks for any existing WebSphere MQ configuration files (MQS.INI). If it finds any, it automatically migrates configuration information to the Windows Registry. Otherwise, WebSphere MQ automatically puts its configuration information directly into the Windows Registry.
The following instructions assume that you are installing the WebSphere MQ client using WebSphere MQ Client CD 5, which is supplied with WebSphere MQ. If you plan to install a WebSphere MQ client and server on the same machine, see the WebSphere MQ for Windows, V6.0 Quick Beginnings book.
If autorun is enabled, the installation process starts. If it is not, double-click the Setup icon in the root folder on the CD to start the process.
The Select Setup Language window is displayed.
The WebSphere MQ Client Setup window is displayed.
If the current version of WebSphere MQ client is already installed, the Program Maintenance panel is displayed with two options: Modify or Remove.
If the current version of WebSphere MQ client is not installed, the License Agreement panel is displayed.
To change the language that the license agreement is displayed in, click Change Language then select the language you require from the list provided.
Select the option to accept the license terms, then click Next.
Select the type of installation you want, then click Next. Table 4 shows the installation types and the features that are installed with each option.
If you select this option, a Destination Folders panel for data files is displayed, then the Features panel is displayed. Follow the procedure Custom client installation from step 3 or 4 as appropriate.
To continue, click Install.
When the WebSphere MQ client is successfully installed, the WebSphere MQ Client Setup window displays the following message:

Click Finish to close the window.
