I have zero experience with Websphere MQ Messenger. I need to build a .NET application that will read from an 7.1 MQ Series queue, manipulate the message and write it to another queue.
I want to try and build a POC to do this. Is it possible to install a Websphere MQ server and client on a non networked Windows 7 machine to build this POC. If so, what MQ software do I need and are their trial versions available?
Thanks
You can install WebSphere MQ on a stand alone machine. Both queue manager and your .NET application must run on the same machine in that case. Download WMQ v7.5 server installation from IBM site. While installing choose to install Windows Client also. Server component is installed by default. After installation use WebSphere MQ Explorer to create queue manager. Many .NET samples are shipped with the product and you can find them in tools directory of WMQ. installation.

Hello im new on this type of software i had serch on Google about MQ but all what i find is that it can be install on linux windows xp ...

is there any way to install MQ on windows server
Yes. If you have purchased it you should be able to download it for production use via IBM Passport Advantage, all the details can be seen here:
https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24043697
If you only want to use it for personal developer use, you can use the free developer edition, which can be found here:

So for clarity, 9.1 is the latest LTS (long term service) release, 9.1.1 is the latest CD (continuous delivery) release. Which is more useful depends on what you are trying to use. It is supported on a range of operating systems, including Windows.
From the 9.1 SOE (System requirements), this is supported in windows server 2016 and windows server 2012r2 (that's the server o/s's as well Windows 10 and 8.1 for desktops). If you need older operating system support, you need to look at older MQ releases, such as 9.0*, 8.0* etc.
MQ windows drivers can be installed on any windows machine, depending upon the system requirement for particular MQ, it is not restricted to Windows XP only

As I have seen, MSMQ is not supported in .NET Core, because it is not cross platform (Windows only). What is Microsoft' s solution for MQ middleware in .NET Core then?
If they have none, is it recommended to use a third-party MQ solution like zeromq, IBM Websphere MQ, RabbitMQ, etc.?
Your question is comparing apples and oranges. It's not that MSMQ is not supported in .NET Core; it's that MSMQ only runs on Windows. A .NET Core application can easily use an MSMQ installation once it's installed. If you install your .NET core application on a Linux machine then no, you cannot also install MSMQ on that same machine. If you install your
.NET Core application on a Windows machine then yes, you can also install MSMQ on the same machine.
If you want to run your .NET Core application on a Linux machine then you have two choices. Install MSMQ on a different machine and use it across the network, or install any of the other options you listed on the same Linux machine.

I have installed IBM WebSphere Application Server ND V7, and I want to install fix pack 7 on this WAS ND V7. So, I have installed Update Installer and installed fix pack on WAS ND, installed fix pack successfully. Now, I want to install WebSphere Application Server feature pack for XML, so tried to install this feature pack using IBM Installation Manager v1.6.2, but it throwing the below error,
Installation Manager detected one or more packages that cannot be synchronized. Installation Manager cannot manage installation packages until they are synchronized.
You can import the packages again to synchronize Installation Manager with your imported packages.
You must configure repository connections and ensure that you can access the network or repository media to keep imported packages synchronized.
Package data for these locations was not synchronized:
C:\IBM\WAS_ND_7
The Software Development Kit version is not the same as the IBM WebSphere Application Server - ND version.
Use another tool, such as the Update Installer for WebSphere Software, to synchronize the versions.
Please ensure you install the same fixpack level for SDK as is installed for WAS. I.e. if WAS is at 7.0.0.7, please install SDK fixpack 7. For IM to be in synch with WAS, WAS and SDK fixpack levels should match.
Yesterday, I've downloaded and install the free trial version of WAS v7. The version I've downloaded is 7.0.0.9 but I need to certify my application against 7.0.0.3.
Where can I get this version?
UPDATED: It turns out that what I really needed was WebSphere Application Server for Developpers
It's working!
Now it can be downloaded from HERE
