Use the Windows Launchpad to install the IBM® Integration Bus components and the prerequisite products.
On Windows only, use the Launchpad for additional help with installing:
If you use the Launchpad, you can install everything that you need, and do not have to follow the procedures described in other chapters for installing the Integration Bus component, the IBM Integration Toolkit, and the IBM Integration Explorer.
The Launchpad works with both physical media (the DVD) and with electronic images that you have downloaded from IBM Passport Advantage®; however, the Launchpad depends on a file structure identical to that on the DVD, therefore you must not make any changes during or after download.
You can use the Launchpad to install only one instance of each component on a single computer. If you have selected and installed the broker or toolkit components, you cannot use the Launchpad to install these components again in a different location.
To install additional instances, run the appropriate installation wizard directly. For more information about completing these tasks, see Installing the Integration Bus component, Installing the IBM Integration Toolkit, and Installing IBM Integration Explorer.
The Launchpad also manages only one installation of WebSphere® MQ on a single computer. Refer to the relevant documentation for these products if you want to install multiple instances.
