Apply all operating system patches recommended by Microsoft for your operating system.
Software AG strongly recommends that you create an installation image of your webMethods products and store it on your internal network before installing. You should create an image for each operating system on which you plan to install that is covered by your license agreement. This will help you reduce network traffic and speed up the installation, and ensure consistency across installations over time, since the installer provides only the latest release of each product.
If you are going to install on a Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2012 system, disable User Account Control (UAC).
Important:
If you do not disable UAC, installation will fail.
