Install iSeries Access for Windows from CD-ROM

To install iSeries™ Access for Windows® from the iSeries Setup and Operations CD-ROM, SK3T-4098-02, do the following:

  1. If you are using a Windows Server 2003, from a command line, run the command: chgusr /install.
  2. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
  3. If your CD-ROM drive is set to automatically run programs, follow these steps:
    1. Click Install iSeries Access for Windows.
    2. Go to step 5.
  4. If your CD-ROM drive is not set to automatically run programs, follow these steps:
    1. Go to the root directory of the CD-ROM and double-click launch.exe.
    2. Click Install iSeries Access for Windows.
  5. Once the iSeries Access for Windows setup program begins, follow the instructions and online help in the program.
  6. If you are using a Windows Server 2003, after the setup program finishes, from a command line, run the command: chgusr /execute.
Notes:
  1. During an iSeries Access for Windows installation, you cannot install plug-ins, and secondary languages from the iSeries server. After the CD install completes, you can use Selective Setup to add these components. You can access Selective Setup by clicking Start > Programs > Selective Setup. When Selective Setup is run, you must specify the appropriate iSeries directory. For information about determining the appropriate directory, see Path discovery for iSeries Access for Windows installations.
  2. To change the install source for automatic Service Pack and release upgrades, use the Service page of iSeries Access for Windows Properties. If you are installing iSeries Access for Windows for the first time and you do not update the install source, CheckVersion checks the CD-ROM drive for service packs and upgrades. If you are upgrading iSeries Access for Windows and if CheckVersion is configured to check a certain directory, CheckVersion checks the specified directory and does not check the CD-ROM.

  3. See the online help and Information Center for more information about plug-ins.
