Installing on Microsoft Windows
Follow these steps to install IBM® Client Application Access (ICAA) on Microsoft Windows if the installation isn't done for you.
Before you begin
- Read the topic Dual client installation scenarios.
- If Notes is already installed and
you want to uninstall it and migrate the data to ICAA, see Migrating Notes data to IBM Client Application Access on Windows.Note: If you use Notes 8.5.x, you must uninstall it because it can't coexist with ICAA.
About this task
- If you are an IBM SmartCloud® Notes user and have an earlier version of ICAA installed, the Auto Update Service upgrades ICAA for you and you can skip this procedure. For more information about the Auto Update Service, see Upgrading with the Auto Update Service on Windows (cloud users).
- The installation requires administrator account access to your computer.
Procedure
To install ICAA, run setup.exe from the installation location your
administrator provided.
Results
- By default, the ICAA program files are installed to C:\Program Files(x86)\IBM\ICAA.
- By default, the ICAA data directory is created at one of the following locations:
- Single-user: C:\Program Files(x86)\IBM\ICAA\Data.
- Multi-user: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\IBM\Notes\Data
Note: Attachment viewing is not supported on Windows. The
Attachment viewer is not included with the installation package.
What to do next
To use Notes applications that require a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), make sure that a JVM is installed and that ICAA is configured to use it. For more information, see Installing and configuring a JVM.
To start ICAA, double-click its icon on the Desktop. If this is the first time using it, complete the configuration wizard.
