Installing on Microsoft Windows

Before starting the installation procedure, review the topics in this section to determine that your system meets the basic requirements and that you have the prerequisite software installed.

Supported Platforms

See the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks readme file for a list of supported platforms.

TIBCO Runtime Agent Installation Before TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks

Before you can install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks, you must install TIBCO Runtime Agent. If you select the Typical option during installation, the installer places all libraries and other products required by TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks into the TIBCO HOME directory.

During installation, the installer checks for the availability of all dependent products in the target system. If any of the dependencies are not available, the installer immediately exits. Otherwise installation proceeds.

Installer Account

You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is installed.

If you do not have administrator privileges, the installer exits. You must then log out of the system and log in as a user with the required privileges, or request your system administrator to assign the privileges to your account.

Installing from Network Drive

If you intend to install the product on a network drive, you must ensure that the account used for installation has permission to access the network drive.

Installing TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks on Microsoft Windows

You can either download the TIBCO Runtime Agent installation package or install the components from a CD. The installer prompts you to accept the license agreement, then to choose to perform a typical install or custom install.

You can install using either TIBCOUniversalInstaller.exe or TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd.

•	A typical install has minimal prompts and installs standard components in default locations.

•	A custom install prompts you to choose which components of the product suite to install and installs only those components.

If you are installing for the first time, you can specify the installation directory where the products in this product suite will be installed. On Microsoft Windows, the default installation directory is c:\tibco.

Use one of the following modes to install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks.

Install Using GUI Mode

To install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks in GUI mode:

1.	Open the physical media or download the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks package.

2.	Extract the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks archive file to a temporary directory.

3.	Navigate to the temporary directory.

4.	Run TIBCOUniversalInstaller.exe. You can do so in one of the following ways:

−	Double-click the installer icon.

−	On the command prompt, provide the absolute path of the installer file without specifying any options. The installer defaults to GUI mode.

5.	Click the Next button on the Welcome dialog.

6.	Read through the license text when the License Agreement dialog appears, select the I Accept The Terms of The License Agreement radio button and then click the Next button.

7.	The TIBCO Installation Home dialog is displayed.

Use an existing TIBCO_HOME to install the product into an existing installation environment or select the environment from the environment drop-down list where TIBCO Runtime Agent is installed.

8.	Select an installation profile on the left or select the Customize Installation check box and select the check boxes next to the features to install on the right.

9.	Click Next. Verify the list of products selected for install in the Pre-Install Summary dialog.

10.	The Post-Install Summary dialog appears. This dialog summarizes the installation process. Click Finish to complete the installation process and close the installer window.

Install Using Console Mode

You can use the Console mode to install the software in a non-windows environment. The installer prompts you for values. Type the following at the command prompt:

 

TIBCOUniversalInstaller.exe -console

When running in console mode you can move through the installation process as described next:

 

Enter Key = Moves forward in the installer

2 = Goes back to previous screen

3 = Cancels the Wizard and exits the installation or uninstallation

4 = Redisplays the current screen

Install Using Silent Mode

The following procedure explains how to install a TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks product in Silent mode. It installs TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks using default values. The TIBCOUniversalInstaller-BW_<version>.silent file is packaged in the directory that contains the universal installer. You must edit the file with information for your environment before launching the silent installation. The file includes comments that describe the installation properties you can set.

While you can use the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-BW_<version>.silent file, it is a good practice to copy the file to a different name and edit that file for the silent install.

If errors occur during installation, they are listed in the installation log file (see the User_Home/.TIBCO directory).

To install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks in the Silent mode:

1.	Open the physical media or download the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks product package.

2.	Extract the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks product archive file to a temporary directory.

3.	Using a console window, navigate to the temporary directory that contains the universal installer.

4.	Copy the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-BW_<version>.silent file and rename the copy.

5.	Using a text editor, open the copied file and update the install location, and features to install.

6.	Run the installer using this command line:

   TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent -V responseFile="myfilename.silent"
