Installation Overview
This section provides an overview of TIBCO ActiveMatrix Implementation Type for WCF Host installation.

Three installation modes are available: GUI, console, and silent. For details on each mode, see Installing TIBCO ActiveMatrix Implementation Type for WCF Host.
Installation Types
Two installation types are available: typical and custom. The typical installation type installs all the products in the package on the specified platform. The custom installation type allows you to select the components to be installed. When you select the custom installation type, the following components are available:
Design  Installs the design time component of the product.

Supported Platforms
Windows
Installer Account
Microsoft Windows
You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which TIBCO ActiveMatrix Implementation Type for WCF Host 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.
If you want to install the product on a network drive, you must ensure that the account used for installation has permission to access the network drive.
On Microsoft Windows 2003, before you start the installation, ensure that the files vpd.properties and vpd.properties.tibco.hostname, are available in the USER_HOME\Windows\ folder. If not, copy these files from C:\Windows\ to the USER_HOME\Windows\ directory.
Installer Log File
The installer log file, tibco_universal_installer.timestamp.username_install.txt, is written to the .TIBCO folder of the user’s home directory. The installer log file captures the following information:
Installation environment details such as the user that invoked the installer, hostname, Java home in the environment, operating system details, and so on.
System Memory
A minimum of 2 GB of physical memory is required.
Disk Space
Disk Space Before Installation
Before installing TIBCO ActiveMatrix Implementation Type for WCF Host you must extract the contents of the installation archive to a temporary directory. The installer files consume up to 80 MB of disk space.
Temporary Disk Space Required by the Installer
The installer requires at least 70 MB of free space in the temporary directory. On Microsoft Windows, temporary directory location is %SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp
If your system does not have sufficient disk space in the default temporary area, you can run the installer with a different temporary directory by using the following option when starting the installer:
-is:tempdir /new_temp
where /new_temp has sufficient free disk space.
The installer calculates the disk space required in the product home location for the selected components before the actual installation (copying of files to system) begins. The installer will proceed only if sufficient free disk space is available in the product home location.
If the disk space required is consumed by another process while the installer is copying the files, the disk space available can be reduced. In such a case, the installer may fail and will then give a failure message.
While performing installation, it is recommended not to run other processes that consume disk space in the product home location.
Disk Space After Installation
TIBCO ActiveMatrix Implementation Type for WCF Host consumes 90 MB of disk space under TIBCO_HOME.
