64-bit Installation Packages
Use one of the 64-bit installation packages if you want to utilize the advantages of the 64-bit JRE over the 32-bit JRE. After installation using a 64-bit installation package on a machine, all administration servers, TIBCO Hawk agents, and applications on that machine will run in 64-bit mode.
Note the following if you have an existing TIBCO Runtime Agent installation:
If you have an existing 32-bit TIBCO Runtime Agent installation, using the 64-bit installer will render the existing 32-bit installation non-operational. The same is true if you have a 64-bit installation and use the 32-bit installer.
TIBCO Universal Installer
TIBCO Runtime Agent <version> is installed with TIBCO UniversalInstaller.
The TIBCO Universal Installer supports multiple TIBCO_HOME directories on a system and displays a panel asking whether to use a new or existing one. When using TIBCO Runtime Agent and products that depend on it, you should always use the same TIBCO_HOME directory. This is because, for backward compatibility, the old installation registry (vpd.properties) is still utilized and will be shared by all TIBCO_HOMEs created by the universal installer.
