Chapter 2 Installation on Microsoft Windows : Installing on Microsoft Windows

Installing on Microsoft Windows
You can either download the TIBCO BusinessEvents 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 (full installer only).
A custom install prompts you to choose which components of the product suite to install and installs only those components.
Because you have already installed TIBCO products when you install TIBCO BusinessEvents, an installation home directory for all TIBCO products is established and must be used. On Microsoft Windows, the default installation home is c:\tibco.
Executable File Names
Executable file names for BusinessEvents vary by edition, version number, and platform. The documentation displays the executable file names using variables where needed:
Enterprise Suite: TIB_be-epe-simple_version_platform
or
Inference Edition: TIB_be-simple_version_platform
where:
version is the three-digit version number for this BusinessEvents release, for example, 3.0.1
platform is an abbreviated form of the hardware platform for which the executable is intended, for example, win_x86.
The windows executable file names for this release are as follows:
Enterprise Suite: TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_win_x86.exe
Inference Edition: TIB_be-simple_3.0.1_win_x86.exe
Installation Modes
Use one of the following modes to install TIBCO BusinessEvents:
Install Using GUI Mode
GUI Mode allows you input values in panels. Type the following at the command prompt:
TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_w32.exe
or
TIB_be-simple_3.0.1_w32.exe
Install Using Console Mode
Console mode allows you to install the software in a non-windowing environment.
The installer will prompt you for values. Type the following at the command prompt (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
 
TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_w32.exe -is:javaconsole -console
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
Install Using Silent Mode
Silent mode allows you to install the software without prompts. If you do not use a response file, default installation values are used. See next sections for details about generating and using a response file
Type the following at the command prompt (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
 
TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_w32.exe -silent
Install and Generate a Response File
You can generate a response file during installation which you can later use to run the installer with the selected values as default values (GUI mode and console mode) or as selected values (silent mode).
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.
To install and generate a response file using GUI mode, use the following (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_w32.exe -options-record responseFile
To install and generate a response file using Console mode use the following (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_w32.exe -is:javaconsole -console -options-record responseFile
Install Using a Response File
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 GUI mode and a response file, use the following (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_w32.exe responseFile
To install using Console mode and a response file, use the following (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_w32.exe -is:javaconsole -console -options responseFile
To install using Silent mode and a response file, use the following (using Enterprise Suite as an example):
TIB_be-epe-simple_3.0.1_w32.exe -silent -options responseFile
