Table 3-1 GUI Installation Prompts
In this window . . . | Perform the following action . . .
--- | ---
Welcome | Click Next to proceed with the installation. You may cancel the installation at any time by clicking Exit.
BEA License Agreement | Read the BEA Software License Agreement and indicate your acceptance of the terms of the agreement by selecting Yes. To continue with the installation, you must accept the terms of the license agreement and then click Next.
Choose BEA Home Directory | Specify the BEA Home directory that will serve as the central support directory for all BEA products installed on the target system. If you already have a BEA Home directory on your system, you can select that directory (recommended) or create a new BEA Home directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the installation program automatically creates one for you. For details about the BEA Home directory, see Choosing a BEA Home Directory.
Choose Install Type This window is displayed only during an initial installation. | Select the option button for the type of installation you want to perform: Complete—All the software components included in your installation program, except the WebLogic Server Plug-ins, are installed on your system. Sample domains are preconfigured for use with the PointBase database during installation, allowing you to execute the samples when the installation is complete. Custom—You select the software components to be installed. On Windows systems, you also have the option to install WebLogic Server Node Manager as a Windows service.
Note: | You must select Custom installation to install the Web Server Plug-ins.
For more information, see Choosing the Type of Installation.
Choose Components This window is displayed only under the following conditions: You selected Custom installation in the Choose Install Type window. You are adding components to an existing installation. | Specify the components to be installed by selecting or clearing the appropriate check boxes. This window displays a tree-view of all the components available for installation.
Note: | In an initial installation, only the Web Server Plug-ins are not selected; all other components are selected by default. You must select the Web Server Plug-ins check box if you want the plug-ins to be installed on your system.
When you select or clear a component at the folder level, all subcomponents are selected or cleared accordingly. If any components are already installed on your system, the check boxes for them are grayed out.
WARNING: | You can clear the "WebLogic Real Time" component and proceed with only "WebLogic Server" selected. However, selecting only "WebLogic Server" will result in the installation of WebLogic Server with JRockit, but without the WebLogic Real Time sample scripts. If this occurs, run the Uninstall program and manually remove the remaining WebLogic Real Time files. Then repeat the installation procedure, making sure that "WebLogic Real Time" is selected.
For details about the components available for installation on your system, see Installable Product Components.
Optional Tools This window is displayed only on platforms that support BEA JRockit. | Specify whether or not you want to install the Mercury profiling tools. Clear the check box for this option if you do not want to install these tools. For more information about the Mercury profiling tools, see WebLogic Real Time.
Mercury Tools License Agreement This window is displayed only if you selected to install the Mercury profiling tools in the Optional Tools window. | Read the Mercury Tools License Agreement and indicate your acceptance of the terms of the agreement by selecting Yes. To continue with the installation, you must accept the terms of the license agreement and then click Next. If you do not agree with the terms of the license agreement and you do not want to install the tools, click Previous to return to the Optional Tools window and clear the check box for the Mercury profiling tools.
Choose Product Directory This window is not displayed if you are adding components to an existing installation. Instead, you are prompted to confirm the product installation directory. If you do so, the selected components are installed in the product installation directory you specified during the initial installation. | Specify the directory in which you want to install the software and click Next. You can accept the default product directory (`realtime10`) or create a new product directory. For additional information, see Choosing a Product Installation Directory. If you choose to create a new directory, the installation program automatically creates one for you.
Install Windows Service This window is displayed only under the following conditions: You have Administrator privileges. You are performing an initial installation. You are installing on a Windows platform. You selected Custom installation in the Choose Install Type window. | Choose whether you want to install the Windows services indicated, specifically the WebLogic Server Node Manager service. Node Manager is used to monitor, start, and stop server instances in a domain. If you select Yes, enter the Node Manager Listen Port in the appropriate field. The default is `5556`.
Note: | If the Listen Port number you specify is currently being used by a running application, the installation program prompts you to enter a different Node Manager Listen Port number.
For more information, see About Installing Node Manager as a Windows Service.
Choose Shortcut Location This window is displayed only under the following conditions: You have Administrator privileges. You are performing an initial installation. You are installing on a Windows platform. | Specify the Start menu folder in which you want the Start menu shortcuts created. You can select from the following options: All Users Start menu folder Selecting this option provides all users registered on the machine with access to the installed software. However, only users with Administrator privileges can create shortcuts in the All Users folder. Therefore, if a user without Administrator privileges uses the Configuration Wizard to create domains, Start menu shortcuts to the domains are not created. In this case, users can manually create shortcuts in their local Start menu folders, if desired. Local user's Start menu folder Selecting this option ensures that other users registered on this machine will not have access to the Start menu entries for this installation.
Status | Read the information displayed about BEA products and services. When the installation program has finished copying the specified files to your system, click Next.
Installation Complete | Click Done to exit the installation program

## What's Next?

By default, WebLogic Real Time uses the development license file installed in the BEA Home directory so that you can start using the product immediately. However for WebLogic Real Time 1.0, access to the BEA JRockit 5.0 Deterministic Garbage Collection option requires an additional evaluation or production license key to replace the empty license.bea file in the BEA_HOME/jrockit-realtime1.0_XXX/jre/ directory. For instructions on updating the BEA JRockit license file, see Updating Your BEA JRockit License for the Deterministic Garbage Collector.

The Spring 1.2.6 Framework for BEA is fully supported with WebLogic Real Time 1.0 and can be downloaded from the WebLogic Real Time Product download page. Spring 1.2.6 is also distributed with the WebLogic Real Time CD-ROM kit when the media is ordered. For more information about Spring and WebLogic Real Time, see Introduction to WebLogic Real Time at`http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13221_01/wlrt/docs10/wlrt_intro/understa.html`.

For additional post-installation information, such as using the Configuration Wizard to create a WebLogic Real Time domain, see Post-Installation Information.
