Chapter 2. Installing Informix and client products on Windows
Most IBM Informix products, including the database server and the major client
applications, can be installed using a packaged software bundle. You can select
exactly which products you want to install. There is also a selection of supported
installation methods offered to help meet the requirements of specific
environments.
The executable file for the Informix software bundle installation is the
ids_install.exe
file on the installation media. If the ids_install.exe file does not
appear on the top level of the media that you have, extract the iif folder
maintaining the folder structure to access the executable file.
If you prefer, you can install each of the following client products individually by
using a separate installation application that is available as a different executable
file:
v
Informix Client Software Development Kit (Client SDK)
v
Informix Connect
v
Informix JDBC Driver
For more information about these individual client installation applications, see regarding Client SDK and Informix
Connect or
If you want to use the Informix installation application with screen reader
software, perform the following actions:
1.
Install the Java Access Bridge.
2.
Start the Informix installation application from the command line with this
command: ids_install.exe LAX_VM=path_name/java.exe
It is recommended that you use IBM Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.6 SR7 or
later.
Installing with the GUI typical setup
Select a typical setup in the installation application GUI to install the Informix
database server and client products with all features. Typical installation setup by
default creates a ready-to-use database server instance that is configured for your
host environment.
Verify that you have completed the appropriate "Preparing to install" tasks before
performing the installation. If you are installing the 32-bit Informix server on a
64-bit computer, start the installation from the command line as documented in
“Verify system requirements” on page 1-1.
To install Informix products using the GUI typical setup:
1.
Open the ids_install.exe file.
2.
Read the license agreement. You must accept it to proceed. Depending on your
selections, you might have to accept more than one license agreement.

Accept or change the default installation directory in the Choose Install Folder
window.
