Beginning the Installation
Follow these steps to begin installing Progress Visual Translator:
CAUTION: Never run Progress products from the directory in which you installed them. If you do, you could damage the Progress software files.
- See your License Addendum for additional information that you need to complete the installation. The License Addendum includes the serial number and control numbers for your installation. It also provides volume information and the media-ID number. Once you complete the installation process, keep the License Addendum in a secure area.
- Close all other applications before beginning the installation process.
- Insert the installation CD into your CD-ROM drive. If the CD does not run automatically, double-click
setup.exe
in the root directory of the CD.- The Welcome dialog box appears:
![]()
The Welcome dialog box reminds you to close any other running Windows programs.
- Choose Next to continue. The Serial & Control Numbers dialog box appears:
NOTE: The cursor advances to the next field automatically when you type the correct number of characters.- Type the nine-digit serial number and each of the five-digit control numbers for Visual Translator from your License Addendum.
Choose Accept. The Product Name appears in the Product(s) to be installed list.
- Choose Next to continue. The Choose Destination And Working Path Directories dialog box appears:
![]()
The Destination Directory identifies where Progress will be installed. The Working Directory contains your applications, your databases, and your log files. The Working Directory also serves as the default working directory for Progress clients and WebSpeed Agents.
The default Destination Directory is
C:\Program Files\PROGRESS
, and the default Working Directory isC:\PROGRESS\WRK
.- Accept the Choose Destination And Working Path Directories defaults, or choose Browse to select alternate directories, keeping in mind the following important considerations:
- Do not make your Progress working directory a subdirectory under the Progress installation path. If you uninstall Progress, the working directory is deleted along with the destination directory. Additionally, you cannot start a server for a database that has been installed in a subdirectory of Progress.
- If you have other versions of Progress products installed, do not enter the pathname where these products reside. You must specify a different Destination Path for Version 9. This ensures that you do not overwrite any of your existing Progress product directories and files.
- If you want to add Progress products to the most recently installed version, the install program assumes that you are adding products to that install location. For more information, see the “Installing Additional Products” section of the Progress Installation and Configuration Guide Version 9 for Windows.
