Installing TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks ActiveAspects Plug-in : Installing on Microsoft Windows

Installing on Microsoft Windows
Before installing the product, review the topics in this section to determine that your system meets the basic requirements and that you have the prerequisite software installed.
Supported Operating Systems
Refer to the readme for the supported platforms and versions.
Installation Prerequisites
The installer maintains an installation registry. The registry location depends on the platform. The files have vpd as a prefix, which stands for Vital Product Database. See Disk Space Requirement in User's Home Directory for additional disk space requirements.
Before you install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks ActiveAspects Plug-in, you must install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks. 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.
Disk Space and Memory
This section lists the minimum free disk space and memory required for each platform.
During installation, the entire package is extracted into a temporary directory, typically one of the following:
SystemDrive:\Documents & Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp
Before actually installing the files, the installer calculates the disk space that the selected components will require in the installation directory. The installer will proceed only if sufficient free disk space is available in the installation directory.
If some of the required disk space is taken by another process during installation, the installer may fail and display a failure message.
Temp Directory
At least 80 MB free space is required in the temp directory.
Installer Account
You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks ActiveAspects Plug-in 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 on Microsoft Windows
You can either download the product 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.
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\bw.
Use one of the following modes to install TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks ActiveAspects Plugin.
GUI Mode
GUI mode performs the installation in an interactive graphical interface. The installer prompts you for values specific to your environment.
To install, double-click the icon named
TIBCOUniversalInstaller.exe.
Console Mode
Console mode allows you to install the software in a non-windows environment. The installer will prompt you for values.
To install from a Microsoft Windows command window, type:
    TIBCOUniversalInstaller -console
When running in console mode, you can move through the installation process as described next:
 
Enter Key = Moves forward in the installer
2 = Returns to the previous screen
3 = Cancels the Wizard and exits the installation or uninstallation
4 = Redisplays the current screen
Silent Mode
The Silent mode allows you to install the product with default values. The TIBCOUniversalInstaller-bwaa_<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-bwaa_<version>.silent file, it is a good practice to copy the file to a different name and edit that file for the silent installation.
If errors occur during installation, they will be listed in the installation log file (see the User_Home/.TIBCO directory).
1.
Open the physical media or download the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks ActiveAspects Plug-in product package.
2.
Extract the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks ActiveAspects Plug-in product archive file to a temporary directory.
3.
4.
Copy the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-bwaa_<version>.silent file and rename the copy.
5.
6.
    TIBCOUniversalInstaller-bwaa_<version>.exe -silent
If .silent file is not named TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent, the command to call silent installation is TIBCOUniversalInstaller.exe -silent -V responseFile="<pathAndFilename>" where <pathAndFilename> is the absolute directory path with the .silent file name.
A line similar to the following is written to the installer log file when installation completes:
... Install, com.tibco.installer.util.TIBCOInstaller, dbg.Debug, Executing Event:::OnEndInstall
