Installing on Windows NT

Installing from a LAN

There are two ways to put MQSeries installation files on a LAN file server for easier access: you can make the MQSeries for Windows NT Client CD-ROM drive shareable, or you can copy the installation files from the CD-ROM to a file server, by following these steps:

1.Create a folder on the LAN file server to store the installation files. For example:

md m:\instmqs

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

3.Copy the Winnt directory structure from the CD-ROM to the m:\instmqs folder. For example:

xcopy e:\Winnt\*.* m:\instmqs /e

You can save space on the hard drive by copying only the subfolders for the languages that you require. The language subfolders are:

SetupCn	Simplified Chinese
SetupDe	German
SetupEn	U.S. English
SetupEs	Spanish
SetupFr	French
SetupIt	Italian
SetupJp	Japanese
SetupKo	Korean
SetupPt	Brazilian Portuguese
SetupTw	Traditional Chinese

4.Give all licensed users access to the folder that now contains the CD-ROM image (in this example, the m: drive).

5.From a command prompt on the target machine, connect to the appropriate drive and folder using the net use command:

net use devicename \\servername\netname

For example:

net use x: \\mqmnt\instmqs

where x: is the required mapped drive on the target machine. Alternatively, use Windows NT Explorer or another method to map the shared resource to a drive letter.

6.Change to the installation directory (in this example x), type Setup and press Enter.

7.Follow the prompts.
