Installation Manager overview

IBM Installation Manager is a program for installing, updating, and modifying packages. It helps you manage the IBM® applications, or packages, that it installs on your computer. Installation Manager does more than install packages: It helps you keep track of what you have installed, determine what is available for you to install, and organize installation directories.

Installation Manager provides tools that help you keep packages up to date, modify the packages, manage the licenses for your packages if required, and uninstall the packages from your system.

Installation Manager is included with the product. You can download the latest version of Installation Manager and access the Installation Manager Information Center at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27025142.

If you use a earlier version of Installation Manager or upgrade to a newer version, some of the instructions might not be accurate.

Installation Manager includes six wizards that make it easy to maintain packages through their life cycles:
