Installation Folder
You have to select an installation folder for the first Building Operation product you install. All later installed Building Operation products are installed in the selected installation folder.
The following conditions apply for the installation folder:
It has to be located on the local computer
It cannot be the root folder
It cannot be the WINDOWS folder
The folder path cannot be longer than 100 Unicode characters.
Note:
In cases where more than one version of Building Operation WorkStation is installed on the same computer, each version of WorkStation is installed in its own folder. When
WorkPlace Tech Editor
is also selected in the Installation wizard, a copy of WorkPlace Tech Editor matching the WorkStation version is installed. However, all versions of WorkPlace Tech Editor are installed in a single, designated folder, separate from the WorkStation folders.
The installers save a detailed log file on each installation. The files are stored in the installation folder and are given the same name as the installer file, for example, SE.SBO.Workstation-1.7.0.log.
Installation Example
Schneider Electric recommends that you install the license server framework before other Building Operation software or SmartStruxure server devices. The license server installation is included in the License Administrator license package. During the installation of WorkStation or Enterprise Server, the installation software asks for the address to the license server.
