Directory Naming Conventions

This topic is part of Requirements for Installing Siebel Web Clients.

By default, the Siebel Web Client installer assumes an installation directory of C:\Siebel\Client or a similar location. You can specify to install in a different location.

If you must change the installation location to use a nondefault path, then use installation directory names that describe the Siebel CRM module being installed. The directory name can use any characters appropriate for Windows-compatible long file names, except that spaces must not be used in your install directory.

In this guide, the directory into which you install the Siebel Web Client is often referred to as SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT.

Caution: Do not install other Siebel CRM modules, such as Siebel Tools, into the same directory where you have installed the Siebel Web Client, such as C:\Siebel\Client. Install each module into a separate directory. If you install multiple Siebel CRM modules on the same computer (that will access different data sources), then determine your directory-naming convention before you begin installing.
