Installing the stand-alone IBM MQ Explorer on Windows
On Windows, you can install the stand-alone IBM® MQ Explorer by using the graphical user interface. Alternatively, you can perform either a silent or a console installation.
Before you begin
The stand-alone install image for IBM MQ Explorer is not currently supported on Windows Server 2019. For Windows Server 2019, install IBM MQ Explorer as part of the main IBM MQ product installation (see Installing and uninstalling IBM MQ on Windows).
Before you install the stand-alone IBM MQ Explorer, review the requirements information in IBM MQ Explorer installation requirements.
If you already have a previous version of IBM MQ Explorer installed, uninstall that version before proceeding with the installation of the new version.
About this task
After downloading the stand-alone IBM MQ Explorer from
Fix Central and uncompressing the files, you
can install IBM MQ Explorer in any of the following ways:
- By using the installation wizard.
- By installing silently, using a response file.
- By performing a console (text-based) installation.
If you require an accessible version of the installer, then use the silent install mode to carry
out the installation. A response file is used to configure a silent installation. An example
response file, silent_install.resp is provided in the same directory as the
IBM MQ Explorer Setup program. You can modify this example
file as required by using a text editor.
Note: If you silently install the stand-alone IBM MQ Explorer on a Windows system with User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you must also remove it silently and not by using
Programs and Features in the Control Panel.
