InstallShield Wizard installation

Use the following steps to install and initialize agents of OMEGAMON® XE for Messaging with the InstallShield Wizard.

  1. Log on to Windows® system using a user ID with Administrator authority.
  2. Close any running applications.

  3. Insert the IBM® Tivoli® OMEGAMON XE for Messaging CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Installation begins automatically. If the InstallShield Wizard does not start automatically, use My Computer to open your CD-ROM drive and run the setup.exe file. If the setup.exe file still fails to run, you do not have enough disk space to decompress the setup files. Clear some disk space before starting the installation process again.

    The InstallShield wizard window displays a message welcoming you to the setup process. This window also contains information about what IBM Tivoli products you currently have installed and the name and version of the product contained on the installation CD.

    Exception:
    If you are running Windows 2003 or Windows XP system and have security set to check the software publisher of applications, you might receive an error stating that the setup.exe file is from an unknown publisher. Click Run to disregard this error message and continue with the installation process.
  4. Click Next on the Welcome window.
    Remember:
    If you already have the OMEGAMON XE for Messaging agent or application support files installed on this computer, select Modify on the Welcome window to indicate that you are updating an existing installation, and then click Next. Then skip to Step 8.
  5. The Prerequisites window, containing information about prerequisite software that must be installed before continuing with the OMEGAMON XE for Messaging installation is displayed. The prerequisites tested for are the IBM Global Security Toolkit and IBM Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM). The version number of each of these products already installed on the host system is displayed, along with the number of the version required by IBM Tivoli OMEGAMON XE for Messaging. If the Current Version field is empty, then either the version number of the installed product could not be obtained, or the product was not detected on the host system. If the version number of either of the installed products is less than stated in the Required Version field, the required version of the prerequisite software will be installed automatically. In the Choose common installation drive for both field, enter the drive on which to install the software, then click Next to proceed with the installation process.
