For installation details, see your readme.txt file, which is on your Micro Focus CD and also in the $COBDIR/docs directory of your installation. The notes below tell you additional information on installing.
After installing, you need to install the latest updates. See Updates and SupportLine in your Readme.
If you use a shared Micro Focus Server, you can use the setup program supplied on the CD, as described above. You install Micro Focus Server in its own directory and then you install your applications in their own directories. We strongly recommend that you use a shared Micro Focus Server if you run your application using one of the Micro Focus trigger programs, run*.exe. This ensures that your environment is set up correctly.
If you use an application-specific Micro Focus Server, you install it in the same directory as your application. You either use the setup program supplied by your application supplier or you copy the files manually and set up Micro Focus Server. For details see the Licensing How to topics in the Help. The Help is available on your CD, by opening the following file in a browser, $COBDIR/docs/html/espubb.htm.
