Custom Installation Path

This section describes how to customize your installation of Pervasive PSQL. This topic continues a discussion from step 9 .

Click on a feature's icon to display the installation choices.

For example, the following image shows the choices if you click on the Windows Client icon.

Figure 4-12 Example of Installation Choices

Decide how you want to install each program feature and click that choice


Installation Choice	Meaning
This feature will be installed on local hard drive. This feature, and all subfeatures, will be installed on local hard drive.	The feature's components, and subfeatures if you choose, are installed on the machine running the installation program.
This feature will not be available.	The feature's components are excluded from the installation.

You may exclude any of the following:

Pervasive PSQL Control Center, including the JavaHelp documentation

Other Utilities (except for a minimum set)

A minimum set of utilities is installed as part of the Pervasive PSQL Server Option. This set includes Function Executor, Database Password Utility (pvdbpass), Network Password Utility (pvnetpass), and the following command-line interface (CLI) utilities: Maintenance, Rebuild, and License Administrator.

If you exclude utilities, you will be unable to configure your Pervasive PSQL Server product. The product is installed using all default values. In addition to no configuration ability, other restrictions apply. For example, no wizards will be available. We recommend that you include the utilities unless you are certain that you do not require the functionality provided by them.

The following utilities are not installed if you exclude them.

Pervasive PSQL Control Center (PCC)

Table Editor

SQL Editor

All wizards

Monitor, GUI Maintenance, and GUI Rebuild

GUI License Administrator

Client machines require the client requesters to access database files on a Pervasive PSQL Server machine. You can install clients from the CD media.

Optionally, change the location where the Pervasive PSQL Server product and its features are installed.

The default installation location is C:\PVSW, assuming the Windows system drive is C. To specify a different location for the installation, click Change, specify a location, then click OK.

You may select only one installation location for the entire product. The Change button is disabled for a feature if you choose not to install that feature.

Optionally, click on a feature to check the amount of storage space it requires.

The space required appears on the right:

Figure 4-13 Location of Space Required Values

Optionally, check the amount of storage space available on the physical drives.

Click Space. The resulting dialog shows you by storage volume, the total disk space, the available disk space, the space required for the feature, and difference between the available space and space required. Click OK after you finish checking storage capacity.

Click Next.

A dialog appears that informs you the installation program is ready to begin installing files. At this point, if you want, you may click Back to change or review any of the installation settings, or click Cancel to exit the installation program. After you click Install, you may still exit the installation, but you will be unable to change or review settings.

The Custom path rejoins the Complete installation path at this point. Continue with Step 10 .
