Installation Tips
- When installing Pervasive PSQL v9 Service Pack 2 for the first time on a system, Setup will check if all of the needed system files meet the minimum requirements. In some cases, these files are locked by the operating system and a reboot is required before Setup can continue. A dialog box displays if a reboot is required.
Click the "Yes" option to restart the system then click OK. Setup is then automatically restarted.
Caution
You must reboot your system if you encounter the reboot message. If you do not reboot your system, Setup will encounter failures during engine and utilities configuration.
