Before running the installer

To avoid possible constraints on the installer, do the following:

  • Decide whether to save the existing Web Console configuration- If you have used the Web Console and want to perpetuate the configurations, you need to use the Web Console to export its configuration to a zip file before you uninstall 7.1.x.
  • Review the supported platforms - Refer to the Progress Software web page Corticon 7.1 Supported Platforms Matrix to review the operating system versions for Corticon Studio, Corticon runtime components, and supporting software.
  • Confirm that you have Administrator permissions on the target machine - Administrator rights allow the installer to copy all the Corticon files to their proper locations. You must have Administrator rights and permissions to install this software. See your system administrator to obtain these rights.
  • Verify file system access -  Several Corticon features write files to the “home” directory structure. If the target machine for the Corticon installation does not have read and write access to this directory, you need to choose a directory location where Corticon will have both read and write access.

With each new release of Corticon, Progress strives to maintain full compatibility with prior releases. Sometimes changes in technology or product requirements introduce incompatibilities that users need to be aware of when planning an upgrade.
