MSMQ Independent Client Setup Procedure

To install an MSMQ independent client you need to know:

The computer name of the independent client's site controller (either the site PSC or PEC) or the computer name of any BSC within the site

If you are installing an MSMQ independent client from an installation share, you are not prompted for the name of the site controller. For more information on installing MSMQ from an installation share, see "Installing MSMQ from Installation Shares" earlier in this chapter.

Each MSMQ independent client must meet the MSMQ connectivity requirements: Every independent client must share a CN with the site controller server (PSC or PEC) or at least one BSC within its own site.

The site controller server (PSC or PEC) must be online when you install the MSMQ independent client software.

Note If you logged on as a local user (instead of being validated by a domain controller) when you install MSMQ, your independent client installation will be insecure.

To install the MSMQ independent client software

If you are installing MSMQ on a computer running Windows 95, install Internet Explorer 3.0 or later if you have not already done so. You can download Internet Explorer from http://www.microsoft.com/ie. It is also located on your Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0 Base CD.
If you are installing MSMQ on a computer running Windows 95, install DCOM95 from the \Clients\Win95\Win95upd\Dcom95.exe folder on the Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0 Base CD. You can also download DCOM95 from http://www.microsoft.com/.
Run MSMQ independent client Setup from the MSMQ\Client.ind folder on the Windows NT Server, Enterprise Edition 4.0 Components CD, or from a shared MSMQ installation folder (typically shared as MSMQInst).
Click Continue.

Click Independent Client, Development Independent Client, or Custom.
click Independent Client to install only the MSMQ software.
click Development Independent Client to install the MSMQ software and the MSMQ SDK.
On a computer running Windows NT, click Custom to select Administration Tools to install MSMQ Explorer. On a computer running Windows 95, click Custom to install only the MSMQ SDK. If the MSDTC service is running, the Stop Running Services? dialog box appears. Click Yes to continue installing MSMQ. If it is unacceptable to stop the MSDTC service, click No and install MSMQ later. Setup restarts these services after reinstalling MSMQ.
If you are not installing MSMQ from an installation share, you are prompted for the Server Name. Specify the computer name of the site controller server (PSC or PEC) or any BSC within the site.
If you are not installing MSMQ on a computer running Windows 95, restart the computer to allow Setup to complete.
