The WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus system
can determine the prerequisite software needed for your installation based on
the components you plan to install. The Launchpad checks if necessary
prerequisite software is installed on your machine. If certain items
are not installed, it can install them.
The Launchpad then launches the GUI installer that leads you through
installation of WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express
Plus. A second GUI is available to uninstall the products.
Silent installation and uninstallation are also possible.
The installation instructions throughout the sections in this chapter
assume the following:
- WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus version
4.3.1 is not already installed on your
machine. If you have a previous version of the product or capacity
packs installed and want to upgrade them to version 4.3.1, or
have installed WebSphere Business Integration Server Express
V4.3.1 and want to upgrade to WebSphere Business Integration
Server Express Plus V4.3.1, see Upgrading the system for instructions.
- Components will be installed on a machine running the Windows 2000
operating system in a production environment. When the installer
is run on Windows XP and Windows 2003 systems, some screens will not appear
and others will show differing selections. See Table 4 for a listing of which product components are supported on
each of the Windows platforms in both production and development
environments.
- Installation is of a WebSphere Business Integration Server Express Plus
system. Installation of a WebSphere Business Integration Server Express
system might show slightly different screens.
- You have reviewed and understand the information in Starting and stopping the Launchpad and viewing the Quick Start Guide and have started the Launchpad.
This chapter contains the following sections:
See Appendix B, Silently installing and uninstalling WebSphere Business Integration Server Express or Express Plus and Capacity Packs for instructions on performing silent installation and
uninstallation.
