This section describes some changes to the Windows installation process.
In version 6.0.x of the MDEX Engine, the Windows installer
appended
MDEX\<version> to whatever path you installed
to.
If you installed to the default location,
C:\Endeca, the installer created the directory
structure
C:\Endeca\MDEX\<version>. If you installed to
C:\Workspace, the installer would create the
directory structure
C:\Workspace\MDEX\<version>.
In version 6.1.x, the default Windows install location is
C:\Endeca\MDEX\<version>. If you choose to
install to another location, the installer does not append
MDEX\<version> to the path you choose. It
installs directly into the directory you specify.
In version 6.1, it is not possible to install the MDEX Engine into a non-empty destination directory.
If you attempt to install the MDEX Engine to a non-empty destination directory, the installation shows an information message and then returns to the screen where you can select a new destination directory.
If you are running a silent installation and attempt to install to a
non-empty destination directory, the installation fails. If you run the silent
installer from the command line with the logging option,
/l=<path>, the reason for the failure is
recorded in the log.
