IBM GC34-5557-00 manual Installing on the Remote Machine, Logfile

Installing on Windows NT

3.Carry out an installation on a machine and record the options selected to install the product in a response file. To do this you must run setup.exe with the -r parameter, and optionally, the -noinst parameter:

a.Load the MQSeries for Windows NT client CD-ROM. If you have autorun enabled, the language selection panel will appear. Cancel this panel.

b.Run setup.exe from the root folder of the CD-ROM, with the -r parameter. This can be done by dragging setup.exe from Windows NT Explorer to the Run dialog in the start menu and adding -r to the end of the file name, or by typing the fully-qualified path to setup.exe into the Run dialog, followed by -r.

c.The language selection dialog reappears. Perform an installation as you want it performed on the remote machine.

d.If you are asked to restart the system, you do not need to do so if you are only generating a response file.

The -noinst parameter (which, if present, must precede the -r parameter) suppresses the MQSeries installation; Setup generates only a response file. The installation creates a response file called setup.iss in the Windows directory, normally c:\winnt. Save this file; you can edit it if necessary.

Use the response file you have created to install the product on a remote machine. (See ªInstalling on the Remote Machineº.)

Installing on the Remote Machine

The remote machine must have access to a shared resource or drive on a file server that contains the client CD-ROM or a copy of it. Perform the procedure described in ªInstalling from a LANº on page 85 up to the point where you run Setup. Copy your response file to a location on the file server that is accessible from the remote machine. You can now start the installation on the remote machine:

1.On the remote machine, go to the Setupxx folder on the shared resource.

2.Substitute Setupxx with the name of the language subfolder for the language that you require.

3.Run setup.exe:

setup -g<logfile> -f1<responsefile> -f2<secondarylogfile> -s

This installs in the language specified by Setupxx.

In the above command:

<logfile>

The full path to an installation log file. Setup creates a U.S. English ASCII text log file containing details of what happens during installation. You should check this file to see if any errors occurred. If
