Installing on Windows 95 or 98

If you view the README file, close the window of the README to continue the installation process.

10.The installation of the MQSeries client is now complete, and a window is displayed giving you the option of restarting your computer now or leaving it until later. It is recommended that you restart your computer now. Close all the other applications that are running before continuing with this step.

Once this has been done, select Yes, I want to restart my computer now and click on the Finish button to complete the setup.

11.When setup is complete, the MQSeries Client folder is added to the desktop, or the location you specified. Note that the MQSeries client is a set of services and it does not have to be explicitly run, so the folder does not have an object called a ªclientº.

Unattended Installation on Windows 95 and Windows 98

You can install a Windows client on a remote machine without interaction. This process is known as unattended installation, sometimes referred to as silent installation, and uses response files.

An installation response file is an ASCII text file containing values for the options that you select when you install an MQSeries for Windows system.

For unattended installation, you must:

1.Carry out an installation on a machine and record the actions performed to install the product.

In this example, the machine is being used as a server ± see ªSetting up the Serverº.

2.Use the recording you have created to install the product on a remote machine. See ªInstalling on the Remote Machineº on page 80.

Setting up the Server

To set up your server, follow these steps:

1.Load the MQSeries client CD-ROM. When the Language Selection window appears, select Cancel.

2.Copy the win95 or win98 subdirectory, and all of its subdirectories, from the client CD-ROM to a shared-resource image directory.

3.Select one of the following language directories: v SetupCn ± Simplified Chinese

vSetupDe ± German

vSetupEn ± English

vSetupEs ± Spanish

vSetupFr ± French
