Launch Pad allows you to install a standalone Build Forge deployment
on a single Windows host. It automatically installs the included DB2 Express
database when it installs the Management Console.
Launch Pad installs the following components:
- Management Console for your edition (either Standard, Enterprise, or Express)
and the included DB2 Express database
- Agent for Windows
Launch Pad also gives you quick access to the installation guide for
your edition.
Important: There are prerequisite steps and post-installation
steps that need to be performed. Note them carefully in the sections below.
Launch Pad cannot be used to install any of the following. See other parts
of this installation guide for the appropriate instructions.
- Management Console on a UNIX or Linux system
- Management Console on a Windows system where you want to use an already-installed database
of any type, including DB2 Express.
- Agents on a non-Windows operating system
