4. Select Typical in the Installation Type window.
5. Optional: If you do not want to set up a ready-to-use Informix instance as part
of the installation, you must deactivate the Create a server instance option. By
default, the option is checked. If you choose to install without this option, you
can configure and initialize the database server manually after installation is
complete to create a running Informix instance.
6. If you are prompted for an Informix administrator password, enter a password
and record it in a secure location. The installation application creates the
administrator account, and you must have the password to administer the
Informix installation. This user account is referred to as user informix
throughout Informix products and documentation.
7. Verify that the installation summary accurately reflects your installation
options, and that the host computer has enough free space for the total
installation. Go back to adjust the installation options as necessary.
Important: See “Configuring Informix manually” on page 3-7 to set up an
Informix instance if you did not create a server instance in the installation
application.

Installing with the GUI custom setup
Custom setup lets you exclude some Informix products and features from the
installation to reduce disk space and offers you other ways to configure installation
variables for the requirements of your system.
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.
If you want to use a domain account to administrator Informix instances, you must
run the installer as a user who has both local administrator access and domain
controller administrator access.
To install Informix using GUI custom setup:
1.
Open the ids_install.exe file.
Important: If want to record a response file with the installation configuration,
you must start the installation application with a command-line script. See the
documentation about performing a silent installation.
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.
3. Accept or change the default installation directory in the Choose Install Folder
window.
4. Select Custom in the Installation Type window, and select the Informix
products and features that you want to install.
a.
Click the + character by each component node to view the products and
features contained in that component.
b. Clear checkboxes by products and features that you do not want to install.
