Before you begin
Complete any necessary
pre-installation
tasks.
You cannot install or upgrade to the 64-bit
version of IBM® Installation
Manager if
you have existing 32-bit products that are installed on your computer.
The 32-bit products that you previously installed with Installation Manager do
not support the 64-bit version of Installation Manager.
You must download the 32-bit version of the product which includes
a 32-bit version of Installation Manager.
You can use the 32-bit version of Installation Manager to
install either a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the product.
About this task
This information describes how to start the product package
installation for a typical installation. You typically install the
product package with the installation launchpad and the Installation Manager Install wizard.
For information about how to install the product package silently,
see the silent
installation information.
For products that are installed
by IBM Installation
Manager,
starting the installation process causes IBM Installation
Manager to
start even if it is not already installed. Installation Manager will
be installed or updated on your computer during the process of installing
the product package. The installation wizard is pre-configured with
the location of the repository that contains the product package.
Procedure
To install IBM InfoSphere Data Architect with
the Installation Manager Install
wizard:
- Insert the product DVD into your DVD drive. For Linux,
ensure that you have mounted the DVD drive. See Mounting a drive for more information.
If autorun is enabled on your computer, the launchpad
automatically opens.
If autorun is not enabled on your computer,
follow these steps to start the installation manually.
- Optional: To start the installation manually,
complete one of these steps:
- Start the installation with the launchpad:
- Open the launchpad from the root directory of the DVD:
- On Windows operating
systems, run setup.exe
Important: - You must run this file as an administrator if you plan to perform
an administrative installation.
- If you are not an administrator, and you are on a 64-bit version
of Windows, you must run the setup_win_nonadmin64.exe file
instead of the setup.exe file.
- On Linux operating
systems, run setup.
- Select a language.
- Read the product information.
- Expand Install Product and then click Administrative
Installation or Non-Administrative Installation to
open the Installation Manager.

directory contains resources that can be shared by one or more package
groups.
Important: You can specify the shared
resources directory only at the time that you install the first product

Use your largest disk for this to help ensure adequate space for the
shared resources of future packages. You cannot change the directory
location unless you uninstall all product packages.

the Installation Manager Directory field or
accept the default path.
Click Next to continue.
- On the Location page, specify a package
group to install the product package into. You can

shell-sharing. To create a new package group:
- Click Create a new package group.
- Type the path for the installation directory for the
package group. (If you are installing on Linux, ensure that you do not include
any spaces in the directory path.) The name for the
package group is created automatically.
