Destination Folder

Specify the folders in which the software is to be installed.

Destination Folder (1st dialog)

The Change... button allows you to select a folder on the hard disk other than the default one (if necessary).

Note As a rule, no change is necessary. Do not change the default paths without consultation.

Important If you change the default paths, observe the following rules: 1st rule Program Files and Program Data must be independent of each other! Program Files: Folder for the software installation (CADENAS) When uninstalling and updating, the Program Files folder is COMPLETELY removed! Program Data is root for the following folders: CADENAS_SETUP When uninstalling and updating, the CADENAS_SETUP folder is COMPLETELY removed! CADENAS_SITESETUP CADENAS_POOL 2nd rule The 1st rule must not be circumvented in the second dialog of destination folder [Destination Folder] . CADENAS_DATA, CADENAS_POOL, CADENAS_SITESETUP, CADENAS_USER must not be in or under the folder "Program Files" (software installation)! Reason: The software directory is completely provided by MSI and additional files must be removed beforehand in the automatic update process to avoid conflicts with old or obsolete files. Example of correct directory structure: Program Files=c:\cad\software CADENAS=c:\cad\software CAENAS_DATA=c:\cad\data <-- ok .. CADENAS_POOL=c:\cad\pool <-- ok .. Example of incorrect directory structure: Program Files=c:\cad\ CADENAS=c:\cad CAENAS_DATA=c:\cad\data <-- error CADENAS_POOL=c:\cad\pool <-- error If the directory structure is incorrect, a corresponding error message appears. 3rd rule POOL must never be below DATA! 4th rule The Deployment item is deactivated by default and is generally not required when installing eCATALOGsolutions. Caution! When using Deployment, you are completely free to set the directory structures. However, this overrides all checks by the software! Deployment can/should also be used for client distributions. An image created by an admin/consultant can then be distributed to the clients via copy or share. Only the files are copied without system entries. Any number of copies can be created. (Make sure to select a different target directory each time).

Click Next when you have made your selection.

-> The second Destination Folder settings page opens.

In the standard case, the default paths of CADENAS DATA, CADENAS SITESETUP, CADENAS Pool and CADENAS User do not have to be adjusted.

Note If you wish to make changes, please observe the above rules or consult your project manager.

Destination Folder (2nd dialog)

Note The paths from the first and second dialogue are filed in the start.env . Never change paths there, but always via the installation routine, either during an update or via "Add and remove programs" for the current Installation.

Example of the start.env: The path under CADENAS_DATA has been modified.
