Installation Media

Data Express is typically installed from a CD image obtainable from your product update email sent to you by Micro Focus. The CD image is contained in a compressed .zip file.

To install, create an empty directory on your local machine and unzip the CD image to the new directory. From there, execute the .msp file and follow the on-screen instructions that appear automatically after a few seconds.

The CD image contains:

Windows client setup
XDB Knowledge Base
BDE software
ODBC and Oracle Extension software for UNIX and Windows
z/OS installation software

For z/OS, install the Windows client only. For Distributed Systems, install all components.

Note:

Your license determines which modules you are authorized to install and use.
- Data Express for Distributed Systems
- Data Express for z/OS
You must have administrator privileges on the PC for which you are installing.

After installing, you can run Data Express from a button that appears at the end of the instructions and thereafter you can run it from your Windows Start menu.
