Installation pre-requisites

  • A windows laptop/desktop or windows server
  • If the computer has a previous release of FlexDeploy installed, the installer will uninstall that version, install the new version and perform the database schema upgrade.
    • After installing new version, you may delete the old FlexDeploy software directory.
    • To perform a new install of FlexDeploy, uninstall the previous, remove the 2.1 directory, and drop the FF, FD, and FD_ADMIN schemas in the Oracle XE databases. The installer will then perform a new install.
    • To uninstall any version of FlexDeploy, double click on the "unins000.exe" application in the install location of that version of the software.
  • Knowledge of the directory path, TNS listener port, and system password is required to access the existing version of Oracle XE.
  • Another installation of GlassFish may co-exist, but must be stopped
  • Download FDsetup.exe from the Flexagon Dropbox site
