The installer maintains an installation registry. The registry location depends on platform. This section explains where the registry files are located. The files have vpd as a prefix, which stands for Vital Product Database. Note that the installer does not recognize TIBCO ActiveEnterprise 4.x products.
ActiveEnterprise 5.2 products maintain the installation registry in the SystemDrive:\WINNT
directory. The following files represent the installation registry:
The entire package is extracted into a temp folder, typically SystemDrive:\Temp
or SystemDrive:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Local Settings\Temp
.
The installer requires 45MB of free space in the temp directory.
The installer and uninstaller creates a file called TIBCOInstallationHistory.xml
in the same location where the installation registry is created. Each time an installation and uninstallation is performed, entries are appended to the file,
SystemDrive:\WINNT\TIBCOInstallationHistory.xml
The file TIBCOInstallationHistory.xml
therefore contains the record of all installation and uninstallation activities of all products, features and components.
