You can upgrade the domain in graphical mode on Windows.

    To run the file as administrator, right-click the install.bat file and select
    Run as administrator
    .
    On Windows, if you encounter problems when you run the install.bat file from the root directory, run install.exe from the following location: 
    <Informatica installation directory>/server/install.exe
    If you do not run the installer as administrator, the Windows system administrator might not be able to access files in the Informatica installation directory.
