Need help to install WebSphere Application Server V8.5 - installation

I have downloaded the bellow rar file from IBM site. But I dont know how to install. Please advice me how can I install this WebSphere Application Server V8.5.

The InfoCenter is your best friend when asking questions about most IBM products.

The installation guide you want should be there.

since WebSphere 8.0 the default install process should be done using IBM Installation manager.
IM FAQ: http://www-01.ibm.com/software/rational/installmgr/faq.html
Download latest IM from: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24032358
After that all you have to do is launch the Installation Manager and point a repository to your WebSphere download directory. IM will than have a step by step wizard that will guide you through the installation process.

Installing MQ Messenger

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.

Software Development Kit version is not the same as WebSphere Application Server

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
This link provides a Windows or Linux version of WebSphere 7.0.0.0 for development testing.
