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.
The following is a list of prerequisites for installing the adapter on Microsoft Windows systems. See Installer Disk Space Requirements in Temporary Area for additional disk space requirements.

If you are using the Recordset feature or the ADO connection object feature, you will need version 2.5 of the Microsoft ADODB libraries.

Before you can install the adapter, you must install the TIBCO Runtime Agent. If you use the Typical installation, the installer places all libraries and other products required by the adapter into the TIBCO HOME directory.
During installation, the adapter installer checks for the availability of all dependent products in the target system. If any of the dependencies are not available, the installer will immediately exit. Otherwise installation will proceed.
You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which the adapter is installed.
If you do not have administrator privileges, the installer will exit. 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 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.
There are two modes in the Microsoft Windows Terminal Server: Execute and Install. Users are logged on by default in the Execute mode, which allows them to run applications. To install an adapter so that everyone can use it, log on as administrator in Install mode. When the adapter is installed in the Install mode, the installation registry is maintained in SystemDrive
:\WINNT\
.
The best way to install the adapter on Microsoft Windows Terminal Server is to use the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet. This automatically sets your mode to Install during the installation and then back to Execute afterwards. Alternatively, you can manually change your mode to Install before starting the installation by typing the following at a command prompt:
Change back to Execute mode after installation is complete by typing:
To check your current mode, type the following:
C:\> change user /query
You can either download the adapter package or install the package from a CD. The installer prompts you to accept the license agreement, then to choose to perform a typical install or custom install.
The installer checks your system for the installation home directory that was established when TIBCO Runtime Agent was installed. The adapter is installed under the installation home directory.
Use one of the following modes to install the software.
GUI Mode allows you input values in panels. Type the following at the command prompt:
Console mode allows you to install the software in a non-Microsoft Windows environment. The installer will prompt you for values. Type the following at the command prompt:
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
Silent mode allows you to install the software without prompts. Type the following at the command prompt:
You can generate a response file during installation which you can later use to invoke the installer with the selected values as default values (GUI mode) or as selected values (silent mode).
To install and generate a response file, type the following at the command prompt:
TIB_adcom-simple_5.3.0_w32.exe -options-record
C:\directory\<responseFile>
![]() |
The response file does not record selections at the component level. It does record all other selections, for example, which products you wished to install.
|
You can use a previously generated response file for installation. For non-silent modes, the response file determines the defaults that are presented. For silent mode, the response file determines what will be installed.
To install using a response file, type the following at the command prompt:
TIB_adcom-simple_5.3.0_w32.exe -options C:\directory\<responseFileName>
You can combine the different available options. For example, to install in silent mode using a response file, use:
TIB_adcom-simple_5.3.0_w32.exe -silent -options <responseFileName>
To install using Console mode and generate a response file, use:
TIB_adcom-simple_5.3.0_w32.exe -is:javaconsole -console -options-record <responseFileName>
Ensure that the installer has set the system variable TIB_ICU_DATA
to the <TRA_HOME>
\config\g11n
folder. If this variable has not been set, you must set it manually.
To set the system variable TIB_ICU_DATA
manually:
To run the interceptor, you must run the setenv.bat
file first so that the path is set. The installer installs the interceptor as:
If the Interceptor is installed as a COM dll, it is dependent on the other dlls packaged with the adapter as well as on the TIBCO infrastructure products for its functioning. When the interceptor is used from within a Microsoft VisualBasic, Visual C++, or ASP code, it attempts to locate the dependent dlls. Therefore, you must update the system environment variables after the adapter installation has been successfully completed and restart the machine, as described next.
However, you must update the system path with the path specified in the setenv.bat
and restart the machine to use the interceptor as a Microsoft Windows service, as described next.
To update the system variable:
