Reviewing the Installation Directories for the Siebel Web Client

This task is part of Verifying Installation for the Siebel Web Client.

The following minimum directories are created for a Siebel Web Client installation. These directories, the files and subdirectories they contain, and various other files are created in the directory that you specified during the installation, such as C:\Siebel\Client. Use Windows Explorer to verify the directory structure on your computer.

In this guide, SIEBEL_CLIENT_ROOT represents the directory for the Siebel Web Client installation, such as C:\Siebel\Client (or a similar location). This installation directory contains subdirectories such as the ones identified here. You can change the directory name during the installation process. For more information, see Requirements for Installing Siebel Web Clients.

Note: If you install Siebel Web Client with other modules, such as Siebel Enterprise Components or Siebel Tools, then some of the directories present after installation are used by the colocated modules. For more information, see Reviewing the Installation Directories for Siebel Enterprise Components.
