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.

• 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.
