Preparing to install the base product on a Windows system

This topic describes how to get started installing the IBM WebSphere Application Server, Version 6 product on a Windows system.

Before you begin

Before using this topic to prepare for installing the product, decide the sort of topology you want to install and prepare your operating system. See the following topics for more information:

Log on as a member of the administrator group to successfully install the product. Creating a Windows service for the server1 process requires you to have the following advanced user right: Act as part of the operating system. During the procedure, you can assign another ID or the one you are using to install as the user who will log on the Windows service. That user requires the advanced user right: Log on as a service. However, if you do not have this advanced user right or if the user ID that is to log on the Windows service does not have the advanced user right, the Installation wizard assigns the advanced right to the user.

About this task

After verifying prerequisites, verifying the product disc, and setting your installation goals, you can start installing. Use one of the following links to open the installation procedure that you require. Then install the product on your operating system.

Procedure

Results

This procedure results in the installation wizard installing WebSphere Application Server into the installation root directory. The installation wizard creates a profile named default that provides the runtime environment for the server1 application server.

Further configuration is not necessary at this time. However, you can create additional stand-alone application servers with the Profile Management tool. Each profile is created in the profile_root directory by default.

See Creating profiles using the graphical user interface for more information.
