CD Install
Completion Behavior
In case of double clicking Setup.exe, success or failure of the software Installer is reported by alerts
which appear to indicate various errors, or upon reaching a “Congratulations” screen at the end of the
install.
In the case of a silent install success and failure must be determined by return codes, or by looking in the
applications events log maintained by the operating system.
Special Consideration
NOTE: If an error occurs in the MSI portion of the install then a meaningful return code is not generally
passed back to the Setup.exe program. To verify that installation was successful, or to determine what
error if any occurred it is necessary to examine the Windows Event Log for the system onto which the
software installation was attempted.
Web Install
The web install is invoked by executing the p
rogram named “webreleasefull.exe”, for installing onto a
target system.
When this program is executed the payload it contains expands into a media file set into a folder named
LWS_vv.v.v
“(
where vv.v.v is major, minor and release version numbers), in a temporary file location,
and then executes the program Setup.exe in that folder.
The Web Install differs from the CD Install as follows:
The payload expands to a temporary location before installing. The temporary location used is
the concatenation of the standard Windows temp file path (usually c:\Documents and
Settings\
username
\Local Settings\Temp). In order for a successful web install, there must be
write access and sufficient disk space to expand and write the Setup items.
Completion Behavior
The web install executable does not provide a meaningful return code. As with a silent install
using the CD media, the termin
ation of the “front
-end
UI”
setup.exe indicates the completion of the
installation process and the system event log can be examined to determine success or failure.
Upgrading
Special Consideration
-- When upgrading from and earlier version of the software, using an
installer residing on a network drive it is recommended that the earlier version of the software be
uninstalled before installing the newer version.
