Note
The following choices are not used for Pervasive.SQL even though they appear in the list:

This feature, and all subfeatures, will be installed to run from network.
This feature will be installed when required.

2. Decide how you want to install the program features.

   Installation Choice	Meaning
   This feature will be installed on local hard drive. This feature, and all subfeatures, will be installed on local hard drive.	The feature's components, and subfeatures if you choose, are installed on the machine running the installation program.
   This feature will not be available.	The feature's components are excluded from the installation.

Excluding Features

You may exclude either, or both, of the following:

• Utilities (except minimum set)
• Client images

You may not exclude the minimum set of utilities. The minimum set includes the Password Utility and the following command-line interface (CLI) utilities: Maintenance, Rebuild, and License Administrator.

If you exclude utilities, you will be unable to configure your Pervasive.SQL Server product. The product is installed using all default values. In addition to no configuration ability, other restrictions apply. For example, no wizards will be available. We recommended that you include the utilities unless you are certain that you do not require the functionality provided by them.

The following utilities are not installed if you exclude them.

• Pervasive Control Center (PCC)
• Table Designer and SQL Data Manager
• All wizards
• Monitor, GUI Maintenance, and GUI Rebuild
• GUI License Administrator

If you exclude client images, you will be unable to install the client requesters from a Pervasive.SQL Server machine. You may install them from the CD media. Client machines require requesters to access database files on a Pervasive.SQL Server machine.

3. Click on the desired installation choice.
4. If desired, click on a feature to check the amount of storage space it requires.

   The space required appears on the right:

   Click on a feature, then click Space. The resulting dialog shows you by storage volume, the total disk space, the available disk space, the space required for the feature, and difference between the available space and space required. Click OK after you finish checking storage capacity.

6. If desired, check the amount of storage space required for a feature.
