  2. Log on to the Process Engine server as pe_install_user.
  3. Navigate to the Process Engine software package.
  4. Edit the pe_silent_install.txt file to reflect the appropriate responses for your installation. All passwords in the response file must be encrypted.

  6. Navigate to the temporary directory on the local disk.
  7. Open a command prompt and start the installation program:
    5.0.0-P8PE-WIN.EXE -f pe_silent_install.txt
  8. Check for the IBM_FileNet_Process_Engine_5.0.0_InstallLog.log file in the installation directory. The default installation directory is C:\Program Files(x86)\IBM\FileNet\ProcessEngine\.
  9. If errors occur during installation, check the following files in the Temp directory as identified by the TEMP or TMP environment variable.
    • pe500_install_stderr.txt
    • pe500_install_stdout.txt
  10. If you were installing as a non-Administrator, log on as an Administrator and run the following commands to modify the Windows registry and create the Process Engine Manager service. Enter the following commands at a command prompt:
    >cd Process_Engine_program_files_install_location\installer
    >CreateVWServicesPE.bat
  11. Start the Process Engine Manager service.
  12. High availability In a farmed or cluster configuration, if you are on node 1, make a copy of the installation_path/data/peseed.jar file. Copy the peseed.jar file from node one into the installation_path/data directory on every other node.
