Installing IBM Informix Products

 

 

IBM Informix Dynamic Server for Windows includes a Windows launchpad, which

 

 

is a graphical interface with the options to view this publication, the release notes

 

 

or the Information Center, start the installation, or browse the installation media.

 

 

The launchpad will start automatically when the CD is inserted. To access the

 

 

launchpad from a downloaded product, from the main directory, select

 

 

Launch.exe.

 

 

If the Launch.exe file does not appear in the directory that first opens, click

 

 

setup.exe.

 

 

The IBM Informix JDBC Driver is available on the installation media and needs to

 

 

be separately installed. For information on installing IBM Informix JDBC Driver,

 

 

see the IBM Informix JDBC Driver Programmer’s Guide.

 

 

The IBM Informix ODBC Driver can be installed as part of IBM Informix Client

 

 

Software Development Kit (Client SDK) or Informix Connect. For information on

 

 

installing these products, see the IBM Informix Client Products Installation Guide.

 

 

 

Installing a Copy of IDS on a Computer

 

You can install a copy of IBM Informix Dynamic Server in a different directory if

 

the same version of the product is already installed on the computer.

 

The following steps require IBM Informix Dynamic Server Version 11.50.xC2 or

 

later. They describe how to use a graphical user interface (GUI) to install a copy of

 

the product. If you prefer to install a copy without directly interacting with the

 

GUI, you can perform a silent installation instead.

 

To install a copy of IDS on a computer where the same version is already installed:

 

1. Prepare the installation media.

 

v Downloaded installation media: You must extract the files maintaining the

 

folder structure delivered in the media. Select Launch.exe.

 

v CD installation: Launch the CD.

 

The Launchpad opens.
