An installation environment isolates product installations. A product installed into an installation environment does not access components in other installation environments. An installation environment consists of a name and path. You can choose an existing environment.

Create a new TIBCO_HOME To install the product into a new installation environment, specify the following properties:

Directory The directory into which the product is installed. Type a path or click Browse to specify the path or accept the default location.

The path cannot contain special characters such as "*", "#", "?", ">", "<", "%", "&", "$", "`", or "|". The path cannot be the same as the path of an existing environment.

Name Identifies the installation environment. The name cannot contain special characters such as "*", "?", ">", "<", ":", "|", "/", "\", or quotation marks(").

The name is appended to the name of Windows services created by the installer and is a component of the path to the product in the Windows Start

> All Programs menu.

Use an existing TIBCO_HOME To install the product into an existing installation environment, select the environment from the drop-down list.

Console Mode

To install this product in console mode:

Procedure 

1. Open the physical media or download the package.
2. Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.
3. Using a console window, navigate to the temporary directory.
4. Run TIBCOUniversalInstaller -console.
5. Complete the installation by responding to the console window prompts.

Silent Mode

In silent mode, the universal installer does not prompt for any inputs during installation. Instead, the inputs are read from a response file that can be provided as a command-line parameter. If no value is specified, the installer uses the default TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent file.

The TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent file is packaged in the directory that contains the universal installer. Edit the file with information for your environment before launching the silent installation. The file includes comments that describe the installation properties you can set. While you can use the TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent file, it's a good practice to copy the file to a different name and use that file for the silent install.

If errors occur during installation, they will be listed in the installation log file located in the User_Home/.TIBCO directory.

Procedure 

1. Open the physical media or download the package.
2. Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.
3. Using a console window, navigate to the temporary directory.
4. Make a copy of the TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent file and rename the file.
5. Using a text editor, open the copied file and update the install location and features to install.
6. Run the following:

Windows TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent -V

responseFile ="myfilename.silent"

UNIX TIBCOUniversalInstaller.bin -silent -V

responseFile="myfilename.silent"
