Chapter 1 Installation Requirements and Guidelines : Supported Windows Platforms and Guidelines

Supported Windows Platforms and Guidelines
Supported Windows Platforms
The following is a list of supported platforms for Microsoft Windows:
Disk Space Requirements
Disk space required for the installed product is between 530MB and 550MB depending on platform.
In addition to the disk space required for the installed product, files created by the installer require about 500 KB of disk space in the user’s home directory.
Windows Installation Guidelines
Installer Account
You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which the software 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 from a Network Drive
If you intend to install the product from 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 the software for use by everyone, the Administrator should change to Install mode.
The best way to install the software on Windows 2000 Terminal Server 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 by typing C:\> change user /execute
Check your current mode by typing 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 %SystemRoot% folder.
