The installation requires that Windows Installer 3.1 (all supported versions of Windows prior to Windows Vista) is installed. Every later version of Windows has a required Windows Installer version installed out of the box. In the case you do not have the Windows Installer engine installed or you have an older version, please acquire a supported version from Windows Update. In addition, MDAC 2.7 or newer is required for the installation.

 

QPR Suite 2012.1 installation is divided into two separate packages, one for client components and one for server components.

 

The Clients package contains the following components:

•QPR ProcessDesigner (cannot be installed simultaneously with QPR EnterpriseArchitect)

•QPR EnterpriseArchitect (cannot be installed simultaneously with QPR ProcessDesigner)

•QPR Metrics

•QPR User Management Client

•QPR Add-In for Microsoft Office

 

The Servers package contains the following components:

•QPR Foundation Server

•QPR BizArchitecture Server

•QPR Metrics Server

•QPR Web Application Server

•QPR Web Services Server

 

The packages can basically be installed in any order, but in the case of full system installation with both clients and servers it is strongly recommended to install the Clients package first. If the Servers package is present in the same folder as the Clients package, the Clients package provides an option to launch the Servers package at the end of the installation.

 

If the packages are installed in a different order, then e.g. default server connections may have to be created manually.

 

NOTE! If you are installing both Clients and Servers packages, do not activate anything before both packages are installed to avoid unnecessary deductions to your allowed activation times count.
