2.6.3 Installing Datareplicator

See 2.1 Products associated with Datareplicator and install all products that are required in order to use Windows Datareplicator. You can install HiRDB before Datareplicator; or vice versa; however, you must install HiRDB on a server machine before you can specify the Datareplicator's environment variables on that server machine. Once you have installed Datareplicator, you must restart Windows.

If you specify the Datareplicator environment variables before you install Datareplicator, you can restart Windows only once. For details about how to specify the Datareplicator environment variables, see 2.8 Specifying environment variables (Windows).
