Chapter 2 TIBCO BusinessEvents Installation : Installation Guidelines

Installation Guidelines
The sections below provide guidelines for installing on Windows and UNIX platforms.
If deploying with TIBCO Administrator   Install it on machines where you will deploy TIBCO BusinessEvents applications before you install TIBCO BusinessEvents. See If Deploying with TIBCO Administrator, Install it First.
Windows Installation Guidelines
All 32-bit installers are supported on 64-bit platforms as 32-bit software.
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.
UNIX Installation Guidelines
Installer Account
The software can be installed by a regular (non-root) user and super-user (root). Different users can install the same product at different locations
Permissions
The user performing the installation must have Read Write Execute permissions on all files and directories, after the file is unpacked. The file structure after unpacking must be identical to the structure that was packed.
Installation of TIBCO BusinessEvents add-on products must be performed by the same user who installed TIBCO BusinessEvents  Dependency checking will not work correctly unless the same user installs all dependent products.
Windowing Environment
A windowing environment such as CDE (that is, X11 Windows) is required to run the installer in GUI mode. It is not required for a console installation or silent installation.
