The installation program is available as a Java installer and a Windows installer. Use the installer best suited to your environment.

  • Java installer: PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_JDBC_INSTALL.jar

    The Java installer can be used to install the program on non-Windows platforms, but it may be run on Windows systems as well. If running the Java installer on Windows, you must either select a non-system directory as the installation directory or turn off User Account Controls. Whether running the installer on a Windows or non-Windows platform, a supported JVM is required and must be defined on your path. See Installer Requirements for details.

  • Windows installer: PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_JDBC_INSTALL.exe

    The Windows installer can be run on any supported Windows platform. The Windows installer allows you to install the driver in the Program Files system directory on Windows without turning off User Account Controls. Before running the installer, a supported JVM is required and must be defined on your path. See Installer Requirements for details.

Important: If running the Java installer on Windows, you must either select a non-system directory as the installation directory or turn off User Account Controls.
Note: For information on installing, branding, unlocking, and distributing drivers, refer to the Progress DataDirect for JDBC Drivers Distribution Guide on the Progress PartnerLink website.
