1. If you do not have the Mozilla Web browser, download and install the Mozilla Web browser from http://www.mozilla.org.
On Linux and UNIX platforms, export the location of the supported browser. For example:
export BROWSER=/usr/bin/mozilla
2. If the product CD is no longer accessible, insert the CD into a CD drive. Mount the drive if necessary on Linux and UNIX platfor
ms.
3. Restart the launchpad by issuing the following command:
Linux and UNIX platforms: ./launchpad.sh
Windows platforms: launchpad.exe

Hi Wenlong,
Do you have the Firefox browser installed on your AIX system? If not, please follow the steps below to download the browser and install it. If you have the browser installed, please ensure that you are starting launchpad.sh as root, and that you have the BROWSER and DISPLAY variables set. The BROWSER variable must be set to the path of the browser (see below), and the DISPLAY variable must be set to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:0.0 where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your workstation. You will need a X server installed on your workstation.

Kushal

There is a much simpler workaround. Just go to the directory in the
Installer that has AIX in its name and do a ./install. This will launch
the InstallManager without needing FireFox. You need to be on the
X-window console of the AIX machine or be accessing with a remoted
display like vnc, hummingbird or exporting the DISPLAY to another unix box.
