Options on the Launchpad for WebSphere Process Server, version 6.0.1

The Launchpad for WebSphere Process Server provides contains several options you can select to install the entire process server environment. This environment can include WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, a set of Web development tools, a Web server, message service clients, and additional supporting software and documentation.

The Launchpad contains a link for each installable component on WebSphere Process Server CD 1 and WebSphere Process Server CD 2 (except for the IBM Eclipse Help System, which must be installed following the procedure in Installing the documentation). The WebSphere Application Server Toolkit, which is supplied on its own CD-ROM, can be installed on Windows and Linux (Intel) systems from the Launchpad on WebSphere Process Server CD 1.
