After you have downloaded the Workstation Agent Installation program, resume the installation by running the program called ISPFINST.EXE (ispfinst on UNIX platforms). This is a self-extracting executable program that generates additional necessary files on your workstation. Follow this procedure:

  1. Go to a command line.
  2. Change to the directory to which you downloaded the ISPF C/S workstation code. (For AIX®, Solaris, and HP UX, use the chmod command to give the file execute permission).
  3. Enter ISPFINST.
  4. A dialog box called Workstation Agent Install Program is displayed.
    Figure 1. Workstation Agent Install Program
    This is the Workstatoin Agent Install Program window. Required fields are the Base INstall Directory, and the Language (selected from a drop-down list). The buttons are "Install" and "Quit".

    A Base Install Directory and a national language (such as English) are displayed in this box. Be sure this is the Base Install Directory and the national language that you want to use for the installation of ISPFINST. If the directory is incorrect, type in the correct directory name. If the language is incorrect, scroll down the list of languages and pick the one that is correct.

  5. Press Enter or select the Install push button.
  6. WSA.EXE, along with several other files, is created in the Base Install Directory that you specified. (For AIX and HP UX, the executable file, called wsa, is created.
  7. A final dialog box will appear, instructing you to be sure that the name of the Base Install Directory is in your libpath (or for AIX and HP UX, the PATH environment variable). Select OK to close the dialog box.
  8. If the Workstation Agent Install Program dialog box still appears on your screen, select Quit to remove it from your display.
