Icon Save24.png Safety information and Tips

Ensure your computer name is easy to remember or typable for future convenience. If you have previous ADempiere, you can still proceed as this will only install iDempiere in a fresh location but over-write your PostgreSQL database, so it is good if you back it up first. But tell you what, why not get a new Windows machine to put this in?

IMPORTANT: PASSWORD = adempiere

The password is hard-coded during Import of Database so you have to set it as adempiere here too. If your old Database is not similar you can back it up and uninstall it for a fresh install. But tell you what, why not get a new Windows machine to put this in?

The reason for a common password is for easier trouble-shooting as many of the issues that cropped up are during initial steps. Later if you see a pop up panel window below, it means the database engine installation is progressing well. Note the messages displayed.

iDempiere Setup - Passwort


When the PostgreSQL database engine installation is going on well, your screen pop-up will display ‘Execute’ line as shown on the right. If you are familiar with the Task Manager in Windows (Ctrl+Alt+Del) you can see as shown in next screen where the Processes tab has a line msiexec.exe Windows installer. This shows your installation is working in memory. You need to know this if you abort your installer half-way and the process is still left hanging in memory. Then you can come here to check and end the process manually. The last screen below is peeking into the directory explorer where the target drive was created and has the needed application files. In this case its the database engine app. If Java is needed so will they appear too. As soon as the DB installation is over, the working files will be removed and the idempiere-server and its contents will be copied there. Then iDempiere setup and Import of the database happens. That will then quite complete the whole installation process.

You will note that next thing after full extraction of idempiere-server contents and adempiere-client, it will do the setup of the iDempiereEnv.properties. Lastly the Importing of Database will happen. It is actually doing DBRestore of the ExpDat that is the ADempiere 360LTS upgraded to all changes done by Carlos Ruiz according to what Heng Sin ported further to the OSGi framework.
