WebSphere Message Service Clients for C/C++ and .NET, Version 1.2 Operating Systems: Linux, Windows

Installing Message Service Client for .NET using the installation wizard

The installation uses an InstallShield X/Windows MSI installer. Two setup options are available, so that you can choose either a complete or a custom installation.

Why and when to perform this task

To install Message Service Client for .NET on Windows, follow this procedure.

Steps for this task

  1. If you are installing from an installation launchpad, proceed directly to step 2, otherwise first complete the following steps:
    1. On Windows, log on as an administrator.
    2. Run the dotNETClientsetup.exe installer.
    The installation wizard displays the following message:
    Welcome to IBM Message Service Client for .NET installation wizard
  2. Click Next.

    The installation wizard asks you to read the license agreement.

  3. If you accept the terms of the license agreement, click I accept the terms in the license agreement, and then click Next.

    The installation wizard asks you to choose the setup type that best suits your needs.

  4. Select the type of setup you require:
    • To install all program features, and install them in the default installation directory, click Complete.
    • To choose which features you want to install, and specify where they will be installed, click Custom.
  5. Click Next.

    If you select the complete install option, the installation wizard tells you that it is ready to begin installation, as described in step 8. If you select the custom install option, the installation wizard asks you to select the features that you want to install and you must complete step 6 and step 7 before moving on to step 8.

  6. For a custom install only, click an icon in the list of features to specify any changes to how you want the Message Service Client for .NET features to be installed. If you do not want to install Message Service Client for .NET in the directory suggested, choose another directory.

    If you choose to install Message Service Client for .NET in a directory that does not currently exist, the installation wizard creates the directory for you.

    If you want to develop XMS applications, ensure that the Development Tools and Samples feature is selected. This feature provides the sample applications, and the libraries and any other files needed to compile .NET applications. If you do not select this feature, only the files needed to run XMS applications are installed.

  7. If you are using the custom install option, click Next after selecting the options you require as described in step 6.

    The installation wizard tells you that it is ready to begin installation.

  8. Click Install to start the installation.
    The installation wizard displays a bar showing the progress of the installation. Wait for the progress bar to complete. When the installation completes successfully, the window displays the following message:
    The installation wizard has successfully installed IBM Message Service Client 
    for .NET. Click Finish to exit the wizard.
  9. Click Finish to close the installation wizard.

Result

You have now successfully installed Message Service Client for .NET, which is ready to use.
