Install the IBM Controller Link for Microsoft Excel

To facilitate the installation of IBM® Controller on the client computer, you can run the CCRLocalClient executable file. If users are installing the Controller client on a Windows 7 computer and the User Account Control (UAC) is turned on, users are prompted to consent to running the application as elevated. The operating system identifies the IBM Controller Client as an administrative application.

There are two ways of installing the Controller link, either by installing the Controller Client Classic or by launching the Excel Link installer.

Procedure

  1. On the computer where Controller Client Distribution Server is installed, go to the ccr_location\webcontent\ccr directory.
  2. To distribute the IBM Controller Link for Microsoft Excel remotely to the IBM Controller client computers, run the ControllerExcelLinkSetup_x64 or the ControllerExcelLinkSetup file on IBM Controller client computers by using Active Directory or Patchlink.
  3. To copy the complete client installation package, copy the CCRLocalClient64.exe files from the ccr directory to your transportable media.

    Users with administrative privileges can then copy the client installation package from the media to their IBM Controller client computer. This procedure allows users to run the CCRLocalClient64.exe file.
