Using the setup launchpad

The setup launchpad provides access to documentation, release notes, and software prerequisites. You can start the installation from the setup launchpad.

Steps for this task

  1. Start the setup launchpad.
    The setup launchpad will start automatically when you insert the product CD into the CD ROM drive on a Windows® system. You can also start the setup launchpad on Windows and Linux® systems by using the following executable files:
    • launchpad_win.exe
    • launchpad_linux.bin
    Or you can use a java command from the directory where Installer files are located:

    Windows java -cp lib\images.jar;lib\nls.jar;launchpad.jar run.

    UNIX/Linux java -cp lib/images.jar:lib/nls.jar:launchpad.jar run

    This displays a language selection dialog.

  2. Select the language for the setup launchpad from the languages list, and click OK.
    Note: On Linux systems, the setup launchpad supports only the following Web browsers: Mozilla, Netscape, and Konquerer.
