How the installers work

You must use the suite installer and the product installer when you install or upgrade any IBM® Marketing Software product. For example, for installing Distributed Marketing, you must use the IBM Marketing Software suite installer and the IBM Distributed Marketing installer.

Make sure that you use the following guidelines before you use the IBM Marketing Software suite installer and the product installer:
  • The suite installer and the product installer must be in the same directory on the computer where you want to install the product. When multiple versions of a product installer are present in the directory with the master installer, the master installer always shows the latest version of the product on the IBM Marketing Software Products screen in the installation wizard.
  • If you are planning to install a patch immediately after you install an IBM Marketing Software product, make sure that the patch installer is in the same directory as that of the suite and product installers.
  • The default top-level directory for IBM Marketing Software installations is /IBM/IMS for UNIX™ or C:\IBM\IMS for Windows™. However, you can change the directory during installation.
