Using the Upgrade Installer in Graphical Mode
To complete the upgrade installation in graphical mode on UNIX and Windows systems, perform
the following steps:
Note: Verify if the install directory entry for Workshop for WebLogic Platform in
registry.xml points to the correct location before upgrading. If not, correct it by
manually editing the
registry.xml.
1. Make backup copies of any files or applications that you have created in WL_HOME. (As
part of the upgrade procedure, the installation program automatically overwrites any files,
including applications, that you have created in this directory.) For a description of the
WL_HOME directory, see “Choosing a Product Installation Directory” on page 1-16.
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. Press
ALT+Y on the keyboard to select the All Users Start Menu.
• 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. Press
ALT+N on the keyboard to select the Local User’s start menu.
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 Specify whether you want to run the QuickStart application. QuickStart,
designed to assist first-time users in evaluating, learning, and using the
software, provides quick access to the sample domains, information for
upgrading your applications, and the online documentation. Clear the check
box for this option if you do not want to launch QuickStart.
