For installation instructions on Windows Vista, see
Installing AcuXDBC/AcuXDBC Server_WinVista.
-
On Windows, run
setup.exe on your product CD-ROM to install AcuXDBC on your machine.
-
Select
AcuXDBC from the product selection list as appropriate. You will be prompted for product codes and license keys during the installation,
so have this information ready.
The installation process sets an environment variable known as
GENESIS_HOME with the location for configuration files and the installation directory. The default installation directory is
C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\extend x.x.x\AcuGT\
on Windows (where x.x.x is the extend version number). Though you can have several different configuration files and refer
to different ones in your DSNs, they must always reside in the directory pointed to by
GENESIS_HOME.
Note: If you install AcuXDBC in a non-default directory, be sure to modify the
DICTSOURCE and
FILE_PREFIX variables in the client configuration file. See the topic
Configuration > AcuXDBC Configuration for more information on these variables.
The
setup.exe file contains defaults used for many of the tools. You may want to duplicate in this file any changes that you made to defaults,
to reflect the new defaults used by system utilities
