The installation may be aborted by clicking the Quit button. Clicking Previous goes back to the Information step and clicking Next proceeds with the installation.

3.3.5. Step 4: Target Path

The fourth step requests the target path where Klaros-Test­management will be installed. The user can use the Browse button to search for the specific path in the local file system ( Figure 3.5).

[Important] Install Folder Location

It is highly recommended using the suggested install location and not the Windows Programs folder. By default, Klaros-Test­management will not be able to start if installed there, as the Tomcat application server requires write access to the installation folder in order to deploy the web application. This is blocked by Microsoft Windows User Account Control (UAC).

If you wish to install Klaros-Test­management in this location, UAC must be disabled.

The “Target Path” Screen

It is possible to set the ports used by Tomcat (Server-Port and HTTP-Port), the minimum and maximum amount of memory available to the Tomcat process as well as the user name and password of the Tomcat application server administrator.

In addition it is possible to control the startup of the application during the installation. If the Launch Application Server checkmark is set, the application server will be launched automatically during the installation process. If the Launch Browser checkmark is set, a native web browser instance will be redirected to the application login page. Both of these actions will be performed during the Section 3.3.9, “Step 8: Perform External Processes” phase.

The installation may be aborted by clicking the Quit button. Clicking the Previous button goes back to the Select Installation Packages step and clicking Next button proceeds with the installation.
