Installation and Instance Creation on Windows

The instance administrator extracts the distribution and then runs the TimesTen installer to create the installation and the instance. See "Distribution Media" for information on the distribution.

The TimesTen installer creates a single TimesTen client-only installation (and instance). No additional installations (or instances) can be created without first uninstalling the existing one. Thus, there can be only one single 22.1 installation at a time. See "Overview of the Installation Process on Windows" for details of the installation process.

One installation on Windows

A Windows host does not support multiple installations from the same TimesTen major release, such as 22.1. For example, the host cannot have both an 22.1.1.x.0 installation and an 22.1.2.x.0 installation.

If there is a 22.1 release of Windows installed and you wish to install a different patch release of 22.1:

• The instance administrator runs the installer to install the new release.

• The installer asks if the previous installation can be overwritten with the new one.

  If the instance administrator answers yes, the one provided instance can make use of the new installation.

Installation and Instance Deletion on Windows

The instance administrator deletes the installation by using the Control Panel or System Settings (depending on your version of Windows). Deleting the installation also deletes the instance. See "Deleting an Installation on Windows" for information on the procedure for deleting an installation. Also see "Verify the Uninstallation is Successful on Windows" for the procedure to verify the success of the uninstallation.
