2.1 Windows

Installation

The installation on the Windows platform is realized by a self-extracting .exe file that also comprises the Java Virtual Machine which is necessary for using TIGERSearch. To install the TIGERSearch software suite on the Windows platform the following steps are necessary:

1. Download the installation file ( http://www.tigersearch.de).

2. Install TIGERSearch on your system:

Double-click the installation file. The installation of TIGERSearch will be started.

Choose the destination directory. We recommend you to use the default destination directory c:\TIGERSearch.

Please note: Do not choose a destination path that comprises space characters
(e.g. c:\Program Files\TIGERSearch). Java-based programs often do not work properly if installed in such a destination directory.

Choose the shortcut directory. The installation tool will place links to the TIGERSearch and TIGERRegistry program in this directory. Please note that links to the HTML and PDF versions of the TIGERSearch User's Manual are also placed in the shortcut directory. It is recommended to choose the option Create a new Program Group for the TIGERSearch tool.

Now the program files are copied to your system.

Start the TIGERSearch or TIGERRegistry program from the created Program Group (cf. subsection 1.1, chapter IV and subsection 2.1, chapter VI, respectively).

Uninstall

Enter the Windows System Control. Open the Software Properties. Mark the TIGERSearch entry in the software list and click the Remove button to start the uninstall process.
