How the installers work

Use the HCL® Marketing Software installer with the Marketing Platform installers when you install Marketing Platform.

The HCL Marketing Software suite installer starts the individual product installers during the installation process.

Use the following guidelines to install Marketing Platform.

  • Make sure that the HCL Marketing Software installer and the Marketing Platform installer are in the same directory on the server where you want to install Marketing Platform. When multiple versions of the Marketing Platform installer are present in the directory with the HCL Marketing Software installer, the HCL Marketing Software installer shows the latest version of Marketing Platform on the HCL Marketing Software Products screen in the installation wizard.
  • If you are planning to install a patch immediately after you install Marketing Platform, make sure that the patch installer is in the same directory as that of the HCL Marketing Software and the Marketing Platform installer.
