Modifying a server installation using the Installation Launchpad

You can interactively remove or install IBM® MQ features on Windows by using IBM MQ Installation Launchpad.

1. Insert the IBM MQ for Windows Server DVD into the DVD drive.
2. If autorun is installed, the installation process starts.

   Otherwise, double-click the Setup icon in the root folder of the DVD to start the installation process.

   The IBM MQ Installation Launchpad window is displayed.

3. Click the IBM MQ Installation option.
4. Click Launch IBM MQ Installer. Wait until the IBM MQ Setup window is displayed with a welcome message.
5. If you have multiple installations on your system, you must choose the installation you want to modify. Do this by selecting the Maintain or upgrade an existing instance option and choosing the appropriate instance.
   If you are upgrading an IBM WebSphere® MQ 7.0.1 installation (or earlier) to IBM WebSphere MQ 7.1.0, and you already have an IBM WebSphere MQ 7.1.0 or greater installation, you need to select Install a new instance. A subsequent panel then allows you to choose the installation you would like to upgrade.
6. Click Next to continue. The Program Maintenance panel is displayed.
7. Select Modify, then click Next.

   The Features panel is displayed.

8. Click the + symbol next to a feature to show any dependent features (subfeatures).
9. To change the installation of a feature:
   1. Click the symbol next to the feature name to display a menu.
   2. Select the required option from:
      • Install this feature
      • Install this feature and all its subfeatures (if any)
      • Do not install this feature (remove if already installed)

      The symbol next to the feature name changes to show the current installation option.
10. Stop the web server before removing the web feature.
    If you do not do this, you receive an error message.
11. When your selections are complete, click Next. IBM MQ installation begins.
