				| How can I distinguish between MQ Client and MQ Server for Windows based on what is installed. 
 I am trying to tell if MQServer is installed or just MQ Client. How can I distinguish the difference.  (no qmgr is created so that would have told me server was installed)
 
 Is there a command on windows to show if Client is installed, Server, or both.

 You could try looking at the install programs in the Windows Control Panel...

Others have it... weird. |  Regedit will only list qmgrs @ 7.1 / 7.5 and above if the installation is a mixed installation where the qmgrs were in the registry (up to 7.0).
 
 use dspmqinf to gain more info on the qmgr.
 If you can't find mqs.ini in the regular place, there's a good chance the info is in the registry.

				| A simple check is to look in the MQ bin directory. If crtmqm.exe is present and there are 200+ files, you have a Server install. _________________

				| HI Gbaddeley, 
 
 Yes I have found many .exe files in MQ bin directory So I have installed Server.
 
 1. But in my "regedit " don't found anything regarding Client/Sever installation.
 
 2. Hi zpat please send me dspmqver command with options to find MQ installation is Client / Server.

 MQ client binaries do not have dspmq command.

				| Recent versions of MQ added the dspmqinst command. The Entitlement will show what components are installed. 
 C:\Users\abcdefg>dspmqinst
 InstName:      Inst93015c
 InstDesc:      Inst93015c
 Identifier:    1
 InstPath:      C:\Program Files\IBM\MQ\Inst93015c
 Version:       9.3.0.15
 Primary:       Yes
 State:         Available
 LicenseType:   Production
 Entitlement:   IBM MQ Client
 Fixes:
 MSIProdCode:   {59E1E70F-76EE-495D-874B-0433BBF09985}
 MSIMedia:      9.3 Client
 MSIInstanceId: 1
 
 The Windows Registry contains a bit more info:
 
 C:\Users\abcdefg>reg QUERY "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Installation" /s
 
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\IBM\WebSphere MQ\Installation\Inst93015c

 On Linux, rpm -qa | grep -i mq | sort is your friend.
