Step 2. Extract the z/OS Installation Files to a Windows System

PowerExchange for z/OS is shipped as a self-extracting executable. Extract the files to a temporary directory on your Windows system.
  1. From a Windows command prompt, make a temporary directory to extract the installation files into. For example, run the following command to make a temporary directory named pwx_mvs:
    mkdir pwx_mvs
  2. Find and run the following product installation executable for z/OS:
    pwx
    vrm
    _zos.exe
    The
    vrm
    variable is the PowerExchange
    version
    .
    release
    .
    modification
    number. For example, pwx961_zos.exe is the name of the executable for the PowerExchange 9.6.1 for z/OS installation.
    The WinZip Self-Extractor prompts you for a directory to unzip the files into.

    WinZip Self-Extractor
    dialog box, click
    Browse

  4. In the
    Browse for Folder
    dialog box, browse to the temporary directory that you created, and then click
    OK
