How to Install a Database

You can use the following procedure to install a database for your server-based deployment of Application Virtualization if a database is not already available. Typically, in a production environment, you will connect to an existing database.

Important   To install the database, you must use a network account with the appropriate permissions. If your organization requires that only database administrators are allowed to create and conduct database upgrades, scripts are available that allow this task to be performed.

To install a database

  1. Navigate to the location of the Application Virtualization System setup program on the network, either run this program from the network or copy its directory to the target computer, and then double-click Setup.exe.

  2. On the Welcome Page, click Next.

  3. On the License Agreement page, to accept the license agreement, select I accept the license terms and conditions, and click Next.
