Hi All,
Just to report back my solution.
an inspirating discussion with an IBM support staff led me to the most
elegant solution I can think of:
1. I just install only the MQWindows client to a shared network drive, and
copy the whole directory as a backup.
2. Export the MQSeries entry in my windows registry to a file MQSeries.reg
3. Uninstalled the MQwindows client from local PC.
4. rename the backup directory back to mqseries on the shared drive.
5. import the exported MQSeries.reg back in to windows registry.
6. set the MQSERVER environment variable the usual way.
7. run the MQclient program successfully.
cheers,

Hi,
I try to do the same thing but it's really not possible to run mqclient
without adding minimal registry keys.
You will find these three keys after my signature.
A few month ago, I've open a change request to IBM to answer allowing
client installation files on a LAN, without registry changes.
The answer from IBM is in a few word :
"it's a valid request since the licence for client is free. But it will not
be treated with an absolute priority. so, MAY BE in another version."
I think that if a lot of customer ask this request, they can choose to
implement it in a CSD.
Best Regards,
Denis
ps. Here is the three key that my tests show as required.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion]
"FilePath"="J:\\MQM\\TOOLS\\MQCLIENT"
"WorkPath"="J:\\MQM\\TOOLS\\MQCLIENT"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\MQSeries\CurrentVersion\Configuration\AllQueueManagers]
"DefaultPrefix"="J:\\MQM\\TOOLS\\MQCLIENT"

I've seen that done successfully. It's been years since helping a
customer set it up and don't remember the details but it worked for
hundreds of clients pointing to a shared server drive. We may have
added registry entries on each client to make it appear the client was
installed but I don't remember,
You should be able to figure out why you're getting a 2195 by tracing
the client connect attempt. Maybe you don't have write access to the
share or something along those lines; or maybe it's missing expected
registry entries? You might try replicating the MQ registry entries
from the server with client installed, with appropriate substitutions,
to one of the client wannabes.
HTH,
Marty
