Installer Account

You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which TIBCO BusinessConnect Remote 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 a 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 on Windows 2000 Terminal Server

There are two modes in terminal server, Execute and Install. By default all users are logged on in Execute mode, which allows them to run the applications. When you want to install TIBCO BusinessConnect for use by everyone, the Administrator should change to Install mode.

The best way to install BusinessConnect Remote is to use the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet, because this automatically sets the mode to Install during the installation and then back to Execute at the end. Alternatively, you can manually change your mode to Install by typing:

C:\> change user /install 

Change back to execute:

C:\> change user /execute 

Check your current mode:

C:\> change user /query 

If you install in the Execute mode, the installation registry is maintained in your user home directory. If you install in the Install mode, the installation registry is maintained in the SystemDrive:\WINNT\ folder.

Installation Procedures

The installer installs the software to this directory: TIBCO_HOME/bcremote/5.0.

TIBCO BusinessConnect Remote provides the following installation options:

Install Using GUI Mode

GUI mode allows you to input values in panels. Type the following at the command prompt:

TIB_bcremote-suite_5.0.0_win_x86.exe 

Install Using Console Mode

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

TIB_bcremote-suite_5.0.0_win_x86.exe -is:javaconsole -console 

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

Enter Key = Performs default action; typically 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

Silent mode allows you to install the software without prompts. Type the following at the command prompt:

TIB_bcremote-suite_5.0.0_win_x86.exe -silent 

Install and Generate a Response File

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_bcremote-suite_5.0.0_win_x86.exe -options-record
                               C:\directoryPath\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.
 

Install Using a Response File

You can use a previously generated response file for installation. For non-silent modes, the response file determine 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_bcremote-suite_5.0.0_win_x86.exe -options
                                C:\directoryPath\responseFileName 

Combining Installation Options

You can combine the different installation options. For example, to install in silent mode using a response file, use:

TIB_bcremote-suite_5.0.0_win_x86.exe -silent -options responseFileName 

To install using console mode and generate a response file, use:

TIB_bcremote-suite_5.0.0_win_x86.exe -is:javaconsole -console 
                              -options-record responseFileName
