Consider the case that the last person to install something perhaps didn't
reboot after. That means the last good registry backup is *before* their
install. So then you go to install WMQ and the install hangs so you reboot,
retry the install and go on about your business. Except that the last thing
is now Uninstalled due to the restore of the registry and "MQ broke my
application!"
Or perhaps the server has something with a memory leak or that is otherwise
ill-behaved. Again, anything that causes the install of MQ to coincide with
the crash of some other component becomes "MQ broke my application!" A
fresh boot resolves any issues with memory leaks or other cumulative,
degenerative OS instability to the extent possible. That makes it more
likely your install will sail through.
I always recommend doing a reboot of the Windows server before changing
anything on it. That backs up the registry and if anything fails to come up
it cannot possibly be "MQ broke my application!" It might be "the MQ admin
broke my application!" but at least that's something I'm prepared to defend
without an extended root cause analysis. Sometimes my recommended procedure
isn't followed and the install goes smoothly. However, that recommendation
has saved my butt on many occasions when it wasn't followed and the install
augured into the ground at high speeds and caused an outage.

Damian,
On Passport Advantage you'll find MQ 7.5.0.2 for Windows, under item #
CIN8JML. That is the full MQ install: 7.5.0.0 + all the fixes in 7.5.0.1
and 7.5.0.2, all bundled up into one new base version called 7.5.0.2.
Install that, reboot (its Windoze), then apply Fix 7.5.0.4 (which includes

Ok so I went for the 7.5.0.4 thinking it would be the same story as for
v7.5.0.1.
1: load files only or
2: load files and apply fix pack to existing MQ installation.
Would it work to upgrade a v 7.1 with a fix pack of v 7.5.0.4? my
intuition says only disaster can occur if we try it like this....
So our only option is: install v 7 .5.0.1? and never update the MQ install
.
Something doesn't add up here?

Hi Damian,
MQ 7.5.0.1 is a base level install so you should be able to install
that .exe directly onto a clean system.

Hi all,
I'm on the IBM site logged into passport advantage trying to find a
wintel version 7.5.0.1 or higher refresh pack that will install
standalone without starting at 7.5 and applying a fix pack.
I have to do this because Wintel OS 2012 is only supported IFF MQ is
installed one time to version 7.5.0.1 or higher.
So I'm going around in circles here trying to find an installable
download of version 7.5.0.1 or higher.
I used this string as a search criteria: " MQ V 7.5.0.1 Refresh Pack"
but all I get are fix pack releases.
What am I doing wrong here?
Ta.
