There are two modes in Windows Terminal Server: Execute and
Install. Users are logged on by default in Execute mode, which allows them to run applications. To install an adapter so that everyone can use it, log on as administrator in Install mode. When the adapter is installed in the Install mode, the installation registry is maintained in
%windir%\.
The best way to install the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service on Windows Terminal Server is to use the Add/Remove Programs control panel applet. This automatically sets your mode to Install during the installation and then back to Execute afterwards. Alternatively, you can manually change your mode to Install before starting the installation by typing the following at a command prompt:
Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 have more strident file access control than earlier versions of Windows. The access control policies affect all users, even those with 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.
By default, Windows prompts for consent before starting the tibemsd or
tibemsmcd 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:
If you elect not to disable the prompt, the User Account Control screen opens each time you attempt to start the EMS server or multicast daemon. Click
Allow to start the application.
TIBCO Enterprise Message Service version 5.x is certified to work with Windows Server 2008.
To reinstall the previous EMS release DLLs, you must first uninstall the 6.3 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.
The EMS server dynamically loads the SSL and compression 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.
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 start the server manually or automatically. After EMS is installed, you can use the
emsntsrg utility to change the service settings or unresgister an EMS server.
