Complete the following instructions to apply the contents
of the required fix for installing the WebSphere Application Client on the
Windows 2003 operating system:
Prerequisite: The Application Client Version 5.0 supplementary CD
is required. If you are using an electronic image, you must unzip the
image in a local hard drive.
- Download the fix
file (190 MB).
- Unzip the wasclientw2k3.zip file to a temporary directory,
such as C:\temp. The ZIP file contains the following:
- Application Client Version 5 installation image fix
- Application Client Version 5.0 Fix Pack 2
- Fix Pack 2 Cumulative Fix for SDKs (1.3.1_SR8)
- Fix Pack 2 Cumulative Fix 11
- Run the patch.bat command with the location of the CD-ROM
drive (or location of the unzipped electronic image) as the argument. Use
the following example as a guide:
C:\temp\wasclientw2k3\patch.bat d:\
This step might take several minutes. After it is complete, a new patched
installation image is created in a subdirectory. Use the following
directory as an example:
C:\temp\wasclientw2k3\ClientW2K3
- Run the install.bat command from the new patched installation
image to install Application Client Version 5. Use the following directory
as an example:
C:\temp\wasclientw2k3\ClientW2K3\nt\install.bat
- Run the setupClient.bat command from the application
installation root directory. Use the following example as a guide:
C:\Progra~1\WebSphere\AppClient\bin\setupClient.bat
- Run the updateWizard.bat command in the updates subdirectory
to start the updateInstaller. Use the following directory as an example:
C:\temp\wasclientw2k3\updates
- Install the Fix Pack 2. Installing Fix Pack 2 allows the
updateInstaller to acquire Version 5.0.2 Cumulative Fix 11 and Version
5.0.2 Cumulative Fix for the SDK.
- Install the SDK and Version 5.0.2.11 Cumulative Fix for Version 5.0.2.
The updates directory contains all three fix packs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
- How do I uninstall Application Client Version 5 from
Windows 2003 operating systems?
Uninstalling the Application Client using
Windows Control Panel (Add/Remove Programs) is not supported on Windows
2003 operating systems. This is because the native installer
(install.exe) and native uninstaller (uninstall.exe) are
not supported in the Windows 2003 environment.
Use the Java™ launch command to run the uninstaller. Use the following
example,
appClient\java\jre\bin\java -cp
appClient\_uninst\uninstall.jar run
Where the appClient variable is the installation location
of the Application Client.
- What are the space requirements?
The installation requires 800 MB free space
in your Windows 2003 file system to complete the following actions:
- Unpack the fix zip file.
- Contain the patched installation image.
- Support the 290 MB free space required in the current Windows user
temp directory.
- Support the addition 230 MB of free space that is also required for
the Application Client installation and the back-up files for the fix pack
in the /properties/version/backup directory of the product
installation root.
