Install and configuring using the graphical user interface

Install IBM MQ on Windows by using the installation launchpad, and then use the Postcard application to verify the installation. After verifying your installation, create a queue manager and a queue and then try putting a message to the queue and getting a message from the queue.

This scenario was tested with IBM MQ Version 8.0.0.0 on a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (SP 1) operating system.
