To install TDV on a Windows computer
1. Read the README files included with or associated with the download file.
2. Run the installer executable for your platform.
Note: TDV installer and patch are packaged with VC++ redistributable and they will be installed along with TDV. Make sure your Windows OS has all the necessary updates installed, so that TDV installation can run smoothly.
3. Follow the prompts on the screen. Special characters and spaces are not supported for <TDV_install_dir>.
You can select the defaults for the <TDV_install_dir> and the TDV Server base port number.
You will be prompted for the following passwords.
TDV Password Type | Description |
TDV Server Application Password | The TDV Server application password is used to login to web manager. |
TDV Repository | This is the database that will be used to store all of the data and metadata about the items that you create within TDV. It also stores your configuration and other environment settings. Passwords with special characters that are supported by your operating system shell are fine to use. |
Default Caching Database | This is the database that will be created for you to hold data that you want to cache using the default caching method. There are multiple caching options. You might want to note the password for future use of this database. |
The installation process might take a few minutes, during which progress windows are displayed.
Note: TDV will generate a new encryption key when the installation is in a new destination. If it is an existing installation TDV uses the existing encryption key. In case of any errors encountered, the administrator may have to investigate if the encryption key file location and content are correct and then contact TDV support team for assistance.
4. Select a password for the default caching database.
5. Finish to exit the installer when the installation is completed.
The Server starts automatically at the completion of the installation process. You can also start and stop the services as described in the TDV Administration Guide.
Install and uninstall logs are called bitrock_installer_<number>.log while the installer is running. After installation is complete, the logs are named <product>_install or <product>_uninstall.log. The log files can be found in the following directories:
Platform | Default Location of Log Files |
Unix | /tmp |
| C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp |
6. Optionally, download and install the latest TDV patch as described in TDV and Business Directory Release Notes.
