Installation Overview
This section explains how to install TIBCO Designer Add-in for TIBCO Business Studio.
Installation Modes
Three installation modes are available: GUI, Console, and Silent. See Installing TIBCO Designer Add-in for TIBCO Business Studio for details about installing the software in each of these modes.

The following product features are available:
Supported Platforms
TIBCO Designer Add-in for TIBCO Business Studio is supported on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms.
Microsoft Windows
System Memory
A minimum of 512 MB physical memory is required.
Installer Account
Microsoft Windows
You must have administrator privileges for the machine on which TIBCO Designer Add-in for TIBCO Business Studio 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.
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.
Installer Log File
The installer log file, tibco_universal_installer.timestamp.username_install.log, is written to the User_Home\.TIBCO\install_timestamp directory. For example, on Windows the installer log is written to the C:\Documents and Settings\user-name\.TIBCO\install_timestamp directory. The installer log file captures the following information:
Disk Space
When a TIBCO Designer Add-in for TIBCO Business Studio package is unpacked, it is extracted into a temporary folder. The installer requires approximately 100 MB of free space to extract the package to a temporary folder.
Temporary Disk Space Required by the Installer
The installer requires at least 350 MB of free space in the temporary directory. On Microsoft Windows, temporary directory location is %SystemDrive%:\Documents and Settings\user_name\Local Settings\Temp
If your system does not have sufficient disk space in the default temporary area, you can run the installer with a different temporary directory by using the following option when starting the installer:
-is:tempdir /new_temp
where /new_temp has sufficient free disk space.
The installer calculates the disk space required in the product home location for the selected components before the actual installation (copying of files to system) begins. The installer will proceed only if sufficient free disk space is available in the product home location.
If the disk space required is consumed by another process while the installer is copying the files, the disk space available can be reduced. In such a case, the installer may fail and will then give a failure message.
While performing installation, it is recommended not to run other processes that consume disk space in the product home location.
Disk Space After Installation
TIBCO Designer Add-in for TIBCO Business Studio and TIBCO Runtime Agent consume about 500 MB of disk space under ENV_HOME.
