When using the IBM® i
Access for Windows Licensed Program as
the installation source, you can use cwblaunch.exe or setup.exe to
start the install.
When you use either method to start the installation
wizard, one of two installation images are used. These installation
images are based on the type of processor for the PC. There is an
image for a 32-bit processor and a second image for a 64-bit AMD processor.
You can automate the installation choices in the installation
wizard by using the command line to pass public properties and parameters
to the program, regardless of the method used to start the installation
wizard. See the Using command line
parameters to change the install behavior topic for details.
