MSMQADM.EXE uses a console interface but not all devices include a console device driver. To use MSMQADM on one of these platforms you must supply registration commands on its command line and redirect output to the file.

The sample program VISADM does that.

VISADM is a dialog box with an edit control that allows users to input MSMQADM commands as they would appear on the command line, and view the output in a textbox above.

To install MSMQ using Visadm

Run VISADM.EXE.
From the Shortcuts menu, select Install; then select Registers.
Reboot the computer.
Verify the installation by running CETCHA.EXE.

The Shortcuts menu automates several frequently used commands and lets users view the MSMQ log file and MSMQ-specific registry entries.

You use the Shortcuts menu to do the following:

To stop the MSMQ driver after it is installed, use Stop.
To restart it, use Start.
To display the MSMQ log file, select Log.
To interpret registry settings and see readable information about the MSMQ installation, select Verify.
