Installing in GUI Mode

When you are running the installer in GUI mode, the installer prompts you for information regarding the installation environment, installation profile, and so on.

1. Open the physical media or download the package.
2. Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.
   Navigate to the temporary directory.
3. Run TIBCOUniversalInstaller to open TIBCO Universal Installer. You can do so in one of the following ways:
   • Double-click the installer icon.
   • On the command prompt, provide the absolute path of the installer file without specifying any options. The installer defaults to GUI mode.

   The Welcome page is displayed.
4. Click Next on the Welcome page.

   The License Agreement page is displayed. Read through the license text and select the I Accept the Terms of the License Agreement radio button.

5. Click Next on the License Agreement page, the Installation Profile Selection page is displayed. 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 a path. You can choose a new environment or 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.

   • Name: identifies the installation environment. The name cannot contain special characters such as "*", "?", ">", "<", ":", "|", "/", "\", spaces 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.

6. Click Next on the TIBCO Installation Home page and then click Next to accept the installation profile.
7. Verify the list of products selected for installation in the Pre-Install summary window. Click Install.
8. Verify your selection of the Environment Location and click Install to start the installation process.
9. Click Finish to complete the installation process and exit the universal installer.
10. Proceed to the Post-Installation page and place the grid libraries to the specified directory to complete the installation.
