2.2 Caché Upgrade Installation
The steps for upgrading each type of a Caché installation are the same. The upgrade installation procedure
installs the required components for the selected setup type on the computer.
To perform a installation follow these steps:
1. Stop any running Caché server on the computer. Also, close all other Windows applications and
shut down the Web server if it is installed on the same computer. For a DVD installation, load the
software DVD into your DVD drive. For a network installation, ensure that you have access to
the files.
2. The DVD should autoload; if it does not, click Start and click Run from the menu. In the Open
text box of the Run dialog box, enter:
[drive]:\nt\setup.exe
where [drive] is the letter of your DVD drive. Click OK to start the Caché InstallShield Wizard.
