Beginning the Installation

How you install Progress depends on what products, components, and subcomponents you choose to install. You can tailor your Progress installation so that only those products and components essential to your business operation are installed. See your specific product documentation for information about which mandatory components you must install and where to install them.

For example, if you are installing the 4GL Development product and you choose the Typical installation option, the ProBuild Utility and Progress Explorer tools will not be installed because they are not mandatory components. To install either of these components you must choose either the Complete or the Custom installation option. See "Progress Version 9 Typical and Complete Installation Components," for a complete list of mandatory and optional components for each product.

As you proceed through the installation, you will specify one of the installation options described in Table 2–1.

Table 2–1: Installation Options
Installation Option
Components Installed
Typical
Install the mandatory components and their mandatory subcomponents of the Progress product you are installing. This default installation option is recommended for most users.
If you want to perform a Typical installation, continue with the "Performing a Typical Or Complete Installation" section.
If you want to see which product components and subcomponents are installed during a Typical installation, see "Progress Version 9 Typical and Complete Installation Components."
Complete
Install the mandatory and optional components and subcomponents of the Progress products you are installing.
To perform a Complete installation, see the "Performing a Typical Or Complete Installation" section.
If you want to see which product components and subcomponents are installed during a Complete installation, see "Progress Version 9 Typical and Complete Installation Components."
Custom
Distribute Progress components on different machines and work around space limitations. This method is recommended for advanced users.
If you perform a Custom installation and do not choose any optional components or subcomponents, only those components and subcomponents that are mandatory for the products you are installing are installed (as in a Typical installation).
To perform a Custom installation, see the "Performing a Custom Installation" section.
