Chapter 2 Platform-Specific Instructions : Installation on Microsoft Windows

Installation on Microsoft Windows
This section gives information that is specific to Microsoft Windows platforms.
Supported Platforms
TIBCO Enterprise Message Service is available on the Windows platforms listed in Table 4. For supported versions and the latest changes, see the README file.
 
Installing on Windows
Windows operating systems have stringent file access control. The access control policies affect all users, even those with Administrator permissions.
Administrator Permissions
In order to ensure that an administrator has permissions to modify configuration and data files, TIBCO Enterprise Message Service now installs these files in a different directory on Windows systems. During installation, you are prompted to enter a Configuration Directory location. After installation, you will find configuration and data files in the specified directory.
The default Configuration Directory is based on the value of your PROGRAMDATA environment variable. For example:
C:\ProgramData\tibco
Executable Prompt
By default, Windows prompts for consent before starting tibemsd as administrator. You can disable this elevation prompt for administrator users with the Windows Local Security Policy application. For more information, see the section on changing the elevation prompt behavior here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc709691.aspx
If you elect not to disable the prompt, the User Account Control screen opens each time you attempt to start the EMS server. Click Allow to start the application.
.NET DLL Installation
During installation, several DLL files are installed in the global assembly cache:
TIBCO.EMS.DLL
TIBCO.EMS.ADMIN.DLL
TIBCO.EMS.UFO.DLL
If an earlier release of TIBCO Enterprise Message Service is installed on the computer, the EMS 8.4 DLLs replace those of the earlier version.
To reinstall the previous EMS release DLLs, you must first uninstall the 8.4 DLLs, then reinstall the DLLs from the previous release. Both of these tasks are accomplished using the Global Assembly Cache Tool (Gacutil.exe) provided by Microsoft. DLL files are located in the bin directory of the EMS installation.
Policy Files
Additionally, the following policy files can optionally be installed in the global cache:
policy.1.0.TIBCO.EMS.UFO.dll
policy.1.0.TIBCO.EMS.dll
policy.1.0.TIBCO.EMS.ADMIN.dll
When installed, these policy files facilitate upgrades by automatically redirecting existing EMS applications from an older assembly to the newest assembly.

Dynamically Linked Libraries
The EMS server dynamically loads the SSL, compression and LDAP shared libraries, rather than statically linking them. If the tibemsd executable is executed from the bin directory, it automatically locates these libraries. If the server is moved elsewhere, the shared library directory must be moved as well. This also applies to the EMS Administration Tool, tibemsadmin, with respect to the SSL and compression shared libraries.
Register the Server as a Windows Service
Some situations require the EMS server to start automatically. The installer automatically installs the EMS server as a Windows service, and allows you to choose whether to start the server manually, automatically, or automatically with a delay. After EMS is installed, you can use the emsntsrg utility to change the service settings or unresgister an EMS server.
See step 12 of Install in GUI Mode for more information.
