Installer Account

You must have administrator privileges to install this product.

Installing to a Networked Drive

If you intend to install the product onto a networked drive, you must have permissions to write to that drive.

If you do not know how to do this, go to the machine so you can install locally, or consult Microsoft Windows online help.

Installing on Windows 2000 and 2003 Terminal Server

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%\.

Windows Terminal Server must be running in remote admin mode, not application sharing mode. TIBCO Enterprise Message Service is not supported if installed on a machine that is using Windows Terminal Server in application sharing mode.

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:

C:\> change user /install 

Change back to Execute mode after installation is complete by typing:

C:\> change user /execute 

To check your current mode, type the following:

C:\> change user /query
