Installation
The installation is divided in 3 main steps:
- Select the different options.
- Copy the files.
- Configure installation.
First of all, we will follow standard setup. You can double click on the setup.exe in the unzipped package.



Enter the installation directory (this will become %INFORMIXDIR%).
Note for IDS v10:
The recommended installation path is now C:\Program Files\IBM\Informix. You can safely use this one.

We need to select the installation method. “Typical” would be fine, but to get a better overview, let’s go to “Custom”.

Role separation is a useful feature in a production environment, but we are setting up a development box.



Now you all know what my Informix user password is. So next time you come home…
Note for IDS v10:
You cannot have informix as Informix’ password during the installation. You can change it back to informix afterwards.
Ready to Copy Files
