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.
