Installation Restrictions and Requirements

Before starting the installation you should consider the following:

• Studio Enterprise Edition and Server Enterprise Edition cannot co-exist on the same machine.
• If, when you install Studio Enterprise Edition for Visual Studio 2008, the machine does not have Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Runtime already installed, it is installed as required by Studio Enterprise Edition. The installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Runtime adds a number of .dll files, without digital signatures, into the winsxs directory.
• If you are installing this as an upgrade, make sure that none of the product files are in use when you start the installation.
• You need to be logged in with a user-ID that has write access to the registry structure under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, and HKEY_CURRENT_USER so the installation software can set the environment appropriately. You also need to be logged on with Administrator privileges.

• Before installing this product , make sure that any existing Micro Focus Directory Server (MFDS) or CCITCP2 Windows service from an existing product is stopped and uninstalled. Do this as follows:
  1. Stop the service, using either the Windows Service Management Console GUI or from a command line prompt by typing: net stop mf_ccitcp2 Only one instance of the MFDS or CCITCP2 service can run on a Windows machine.
  2. Uninstall the MFDS or CCITCP2 service.

     For MFDS, from a command line prompt enter: mfds -u

     For CCITCP2: ccitcp2 -u

  To run an earlier version of MFDS as a service after you have installed a later version:

  1. Stop and uninstall the MFDS service, as described above.
  2. Reinstall the earlier version, as follows:
     1. Open a  Net Express command prompt.
     2. Install the service. Enter the following command: mfds -i
     3. Start the service. Enter the following command: net start mf_ccitcp2
     Note: The two versions use different paths for environment and registry values, so the list of configured Enterprise Servers might be different depending on which version has been started, since, by default, different MFDS data repositories are used.

  MFDS 5.1 and later are able to import or use Enterprise Server configuration data generated by earlier versions of MFDS, but 5.0 or earlier versions of MFDS might not be able to read data generated by later versions.

  It is possible to run MFDS from a command prompt ("mfds") rather than as a service, but by default the "mfcobol" port is used (86) and this can only be used by one process at a time
