Use these instructions for installing IBM InfoSphere Data Architect with
the Installation Manager Install wizard.
Before you begin
Complete any necessary
pre-installation
tasks.
You cannot install or upgrade to the 64-bit version
of IBM® Installation
Manager if
you have existing 32-bit products on your computer that were installed
by IBM Installation
Manager.
The 32-bit products that you previously installed with Installation Manager do
not support the 64-bit version of Installation Manager.
You can use the 32-bit version of Installation Manager to
install either a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the product.
About this task
This information describes how to start the product package
installation for a typical installation. You typically install the
product package with the installation launchpad and the Installation Manager Install wizard.
For information about how to install the product package silently,
see the silent
installation information.
For products that are installed
by IBM Installation
Manager,
starting the installation process causes IBM Installation
Manager to
start even if it is not already installed. Installation Manager will
be installed or updated on your computer during the process of installing
the product package. The installation wizard is pre-configured with
the location of the repository that contains the product package.
Procedure
To install IBM InfoSphere Data Architect with
the Installation Manager Install
wizard:
- Insert the product DVD into your DVD drive. For Linux, ensure that you have mounted the DVD drive.
See Mounting a drive for more

If autorun is not enabled on your computer, follow these steps to start the installation
manually.
- Optional: To start the installation manually,
complete one of these steps:
- Start the installation with the launchpad:
- Open the launchpad from the root directory of the DVD:
- On Windows operating systems, run
launchpad.exe
Important: - You must run this file as an administrator if you plan to perform an administrative
installation.
- If you are not an administrator, and you are on a 64-bit version of Windows, you must run the
launchpad_win_nonadmin64.exe file instead of the
launchpad.exe file.

launchpad.sh.
- Select a language.
- Read the product information.

groups.
Important: You can specify the shared

also referred to as shell-sharing. To create a new package group:
- Click Create a new package group.

package group. (If you are installing on Linux, ensure that you do not include
any spaces in the directory path.) The name for the
