Installation Notes

After installing, you need to install the latest updates, from the Micro Focus product support Web site http://supportline.microfocus.com.

For installation instructions, refer to the following chapters of the Installation Guide, as appropriate:
  • z/OS - z/OS System Procedures.
  • Windows - Section Windows Installation of chapter Distributed Systems Procedures.
  • UNIX - Section UNIX/Linux Installation of chapter Distributed Systems Procedures.

Windows Installation Program

To install the product, you need to be logged in with a user-ID that has Administrator privileges on the local machine, so the installation software can set the environment appropriately.

The installation program should start automatically when you insert the CD. If after a few seconds the installation window hasn't appeared, run the installation program as follows: x:\setup.exe

where x is your CD drive.

If you do not install an option or a sub-option, you can add it later by using Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and selecting Micro Focus Data Express 4.0 and clicking Change.

Offline Web Browser

To use your Web browser off line, you need the dial-up networking feature Windows XP installed. Otherwise you may have TCP/IP errors such as being unable find "localhost" or the numeric equivalent (127.0.0.1).

Uninstalling

To uninstall the product, you need to be logged in with the same user-ID as you used when you installed it.

To uninstall the product, you cannot simply delete its files from your hard disk. Instead, you uninstall by using Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs , on most Windows systems. You might need to ensure that Show Updates (at the top of the Add or Remove Programs dialog) is checked, so that any hot fixes or WrapPacks are listed.

When you uninstall, the only files deleted are those that the installation software installed. If your Data Express directory has not been removed, delete any unwanted files and subdirectories within it using Windows Explorer.

Repairing

If any product files, registry settings or shortcuts are accidentally removed at any point, you can perform a Repair on the installation to replace them. To do this, use Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and follow the instructions on the screen.
