Assumptions for Installing QMS

Additional Capabilities > Windchill Quality Management Solutions > Installing the Windchill Quality Management System > Assumptions for Installing QMS

For additional requirements, see Before Using the PTC Solution Installer. This topic assumes the following:

• You are using mostly default options for the installation.

• You are using the English language.

• You have the CDs necessary to execute the installation (see Products Needed to Install QMS) and you are installing directly from those discs.

• You have two CD/DVD drives.

Installation directly from CD/DVD discs requires two CD/DVD drives. You can perform an installation with one or no CD/DVD drives, but you must copy the installation media to a hard drive (or equivalent) first.

• You are using the Windows operating system.

For a list of supported operating systems, see the Windchill software matrix on the Reference Documents web page: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/refdoc

Select the following document search criteria:

• Product—Your product

• Release—The current release

• Document Type—Matrices - Software

• You are using Oracle DBMS, and you have already created a named database user instance to be used with this installation. For more instructions, refer to Installing Oracle.

• You have identified a temporary folder as a staging area where the PTC Solution Installer copies the contents of the installation CDs.

You can create a staging area in one of three ways:

◦ Use the PSI Copy to staging prompt.

◦ Copy the contents of CDs manually through the operating system.

◦ Download installer archives from ptc.com and expand them into new folders within the staging area folder.
