Installing the runtime client

When you install any components on Windows, you also install the runtime client by default. You can also install only the runtime client, without installing any other components.

To install the runtime client by itself:

  1. Launch the Windows install program.
  2. On the Select Installation Options window, select Client only.
  3. On the Select Locale window, select the language you want and click Next.
  4. Leave all the check boxes empty on the Select Installation Options window and click Next.
  5. On the Choose Destination Location window, enter the drive and directory where you would like to install the DB2 OLAP Server runtime client and click Next. IBM strongly recommends that you install the runtime into a new separate directory. Do not install into directory in which a product other than DB2 OLAP Server and its features has been installed.
  6. Select Custom on the Select Installation Type window.
  7. On the Select Components window, if you want to install only the runtime client, deselect all the checked components except for Runtime Client. Click Next.
  8. Enter a name for the folder into which the runtime client is installed, or accept the default, on the Select Folder window. Click Next.
  9. Click Next to start copying the files to your computer. You might need to restart your computer after the files are copied.
