Create the installation source and install the selected component

To create an installation source

1. Copy the entire contents of the System Platform installation DVD to a local folder on your computer or to a network share location.

   This location will be used to prepare for the installation or upgrade of the product you are installing.

   Important: You must copy the entire DVD. The root directory from the DVD and all files in it must be in place and completely intact.

2. Navigate to the location where you copied the DVD. Delete the files, components and language folders that you do not need.

   Now you are ready to install or upgrade the product(s) using either of the methods described below.

To install or upgrade a single product

Direct installation from the copy location (install locally or on a different network node):

3. Remove the original System Platform installation DVD from the drive.

   Important: When you run Setup.exe, it checks for the System Platform installation DVD. If the installation DVD is available, it will be used instead of the copy location.

4. Navigate to the copy location.

5. Make sure you have deleted the folders you do not need.

6. Run Setup.exe. Components that were deleted will be grayed-out and unavailable for installation.

7. If this is a new installation (not an upgrade), select the target location when you are prompted.

Installation from a CD or DVD:

8. Create a CD or DVD from the copy location after deleting the folders you do not need.

9. Run Setup.exe from the CD/DVD on each node. Components that were deleted will be grayed-out and unavailable for installation.
