Installation on Windows
This section describes how to install the CONNX Administrator and CONNX client components on Windows.
1. Download and run the installation kit from Empower or use the download links provided during your maintenance renewal or evaluation period.
2. Accept the terms of the license agreement. Click Next.
3. In the Destination Folders window, select the locations of the 32-bit and the 64-bit components. On 32-bit systems, the only available option to select the location of 32-bit components. Click Next.
4. In the License Server Information window, specify the server name and port number if your already installed license. The default port number for the CONNX license server is 7501. If you want to install the license server locally on this computer, select the appropriate radio button. Click Next.
5. In the Database Modules window, select the database modules you have purchased or are evaluating. You must have a valid license file for each database module you select. Select DataSync, InfoNaut Professional, or N-Tier only if you purchased or are evaluating these products. InfoNaut Lite is included with all CONNX licenses. Select InfoNaut Professional only if you purchased or are evaluating this product.
6. In the Administrative Components, if you are installing CONNX on an administrative computer, click Install and enter the file path to the folder containing the license files in License Source. This installs the CONNX Data Dictionary tool and the License Administrator program. If you are not installing CONNX on an administrative computer, clear Install.
7. In the Select Features window, select the components to install. You can save drive space by clearing the unused subcomponent check boxes.
The following table contains a list of the CONNX components, their descriptions, and subcomponents.

Adabas Mainframe Components | Required for access of Adabas data on the mainframe. | Setup Utility
InstantdbSync (Open Systems Event Replicator for Adabas customers) components | Allows selection of individual InstantdbSync components. | Installer for UNIX components

8. If you are installing the Adabas Mainframe Components, scroll down to view the Adabas Mainframe Server Setup checkbox. Select the checkbox if you are installing or updating the server components on the mainframe. This step only has to be done once or when the server changes. If you are installing multiple clients later, it is not necessary to select the check box during installation. For more information about the Adabas installation configurations, see Recommended Configurations for CONNX for Adabas.
Install the CONNX client components on each computer requiring data access. For more information, see Remote Silent Installation. You do not have to install the administrator component and JDBC server components on machines requiring data access only.
For administrator machines, ensure that both the CONNX client driver and the CONNX administrator components are installed. The OpenVMS server components required for Rdb, DBMS, and RMS databases must be installed on at least one administrator machine and then transferred to the OpenVMS database server machine. The server components need not be installed on client machines. See Installing CONNX OpenVMS Server for information on transferring the server components to the server. For client machines requiring data access only, select only the CONNX Client Driver component in the Select Components window.
Do not select UNIX Server Setup if you are using C-ISAM, DISAM, or Micro Focus on a Windows platform.
Do not select Adabas Mainframe Components if you are using Adabas on a Windows platform.
9. If you have selected the CONNX JDBC Server Service, the Enterprise Server Service, the CONNX Store Database Server Service, InstantdbSync, or Install CONNX License server on local computer, the Service Account Selection dialog box appears. To have the services run as a specific domain user, select This account and enter a domain or user name in the Domain\UserName text box. Enter a password in the Password text box. To have the services run under the local system account, select Local System account. Click Next.
The installer copies the files. When the copy process has finished, an information message box appears stating that the CONNX Server Setup programs are set to install the server components that you have selected. Click OK.
10. The Server Component Installation window appears. See Installing CONNX OpenVMS, Installing Mainframe-Compatible Server, Installing CONNX for Adabas on UNIX, or Installing UNIX Data Servers for more information on installing these server components.
11. If you selected Oracle, DB2, C-ISAM, Informix, Sybase, ODBC, or OLE DB data sources in the Database Modules window, a dialog box appears asking whether you want to install sample database tables. Click Yes to continue with the sample table installation through CONNX Sample Database Logon dialog boxes. Click No to continue with the CONNX installation. You can install the sample tables for each of the listed databases at any time using the Build Sample Database icons available in your program group.
12. Reboot the system if prompted.
