Re: iSeries Access on MS Vista

You can get the whole product from the IFS on your IBM i. Path is 
/QIBM/ProdData/Access/Windows - in there is a program, cwblaunch.exe - 
this is the setup program.

I recommend copying that directly to your PC and put it on a CD - I 
think it fits - or a DVD.

There are a couple Microsoft updates you will need to install - not too 
big a deal.

The latest service packs used to have the entire product - they don't 
anymore - you can't use them to install the whole thing now. But you can 
start from the image on your IBM i.
