Installing TCC in Windows

Before you start

One of the following operating systems pre-installed:

  • Windows Server 2008

  • Windows Server 2012

  • Windows Server 2016

  • Linux

Hardware:

  • Design and development workstation, ~1GHz, 256 MB RAM

  • Large volume production workstation, ~1 GHz, 512MB RAM

Software:

  • Product Integration Pack (PIP) setup program

  • Taleo Connect Client setup program

Security approval from your information security department to install TCC.

TCC installation packages come bundled with a 32 bit version of Java Runtime Environment.

  • 17.0 - JRE 1.8

TaleoConnectClient.exe always uses the information in the jre folder created during installation, no matter what value is specified in JAVA_HOME. If the jre folder is deleted or renamed, making it impossible to find, the value set in JAVA_HOME is used. If JAVA_HOME is set to a 32 bit version everything works. If JAVA_HOME is set to a 64 bit version the "Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform" error is displayed.

TaleoConnectClient.bat will work with 32 or 64 bit versions because there is no UI to display. The presence or absence of the jre folder, or the value set in JAVA_HOME have no impact.

Here's what to do

  1. Create an [INSTALL FOLDER] in which to install the PIP and TCC folders.
  2. Double click the Product Integration Pack setup program. The Welcome to the Taleo Connect Client Product Integration Pack Setup Wizard window opens.

  6. In the Completing the Taleo Connect Client Setup Wizard window, deselect the Launch Taleo Connect Client and View README file check boxes before you click Finish.
    Taleo Connect Client is installed in the [INSTALL FOLDER].
