Starting the Windows Launchpad

Use the instructions to start the Windows Launchpad.

The Launchpad is available on every DVD and downloaded image from which product components or prerequisite products can be installed.

If you are using physical product media, the Launchpad starts automatically if autorun is enabled. If autorun is not enabled, or if you are installing from a downloaded image, navigate to root directory of the DVD or image, and double-click the file mqsilaunchpad.exe or type mqsilaunchpad in a command window and press Enter.

The Installation window is displayed. On the Installation window, you can install the set of products that are required for a default configuration of WebSphere® Message Broker, including WebSphere MQ, if it is not already installed. For more information, see Installing a default configuration by using the Installation window.

Access further information from the left pane:

  • Click Readme to view the readme file readme.html in a new web browser window.
  • Click Quick Tour to take a tour around the product. See WebSphere Message Broker overview for further information.

The Launchpad might have to search for an installation wizard for some of your selections. If you are installing from DVD, all the required products are available, but if you are installing from a downloaded image, the program might be on another downloaded image, or might not be in the expected location. If necessary, the Launchpad prompts you to take the appropriate action to find the file. The following table shows, for each supplied product, the program names and their locations on the downloaded images.
