Install the Local Client

To successfully install or upgrade the CA SCM client, you must have Windows
Administrator rights.
To install the local client

1. Insert the installation media into your drive.

2. The Product Explorer dialog appears.

3. Select the product component that you want to install.

Note: If your computer has a previous release of the product installed, you are prompted
to remove it. You must uninstall the previous release before you can install the new
release.

4. To continue with the installation, follow the on-screen instructions.

Note: If the installation does not detect Microsoft Windows .NET Framework 1.1 locally,
you are prompted to optionally install it:
Note: If you do not plan to install CA SCM Source Code Control Integration (SCC
Integration), click No. If you plan to install SCC Integration, complete the following
steps.
0 If you do not already have .NET Framework 1.1 or 2.0 installed, click Yes and
follow the prompts to install .NET Framework 1.1.
1 If you do already have .NET Framework 2.0 installed, you can optionally click
No and go to the next step or click Yes and follow the prompts to install .NET
Framework 1.1. Both of these versions can be installed on the same computer without
negatively affecting each other or the product.

Important! Before you can configure or use SCC Integration, you must ensure that .NET
Framework 1.1 or 2.0 is installed locally. When you perform a command line (silent)
installation of the client, the installation does not check for .NET Framework 1.1 and
does not prompt you to install it. For more information, see How to Install the Client
Silently (see page 56).

5. To continue with the installation, follow the on-screen instructions.

6. When prompted, enter your user name and organization name, and specify who can
use the product.
Note: The Only for me (CA User) option applies for a client only installation.

7. When prompted, specify the location to install the product. By default, the product is
installed to the C:\Program Files\CA directory.
Note: If you change the default installation directory, the directory you specify will be
the top-level directory for the product files. For example, %CA_SCM_HOME% will be
defined as your-installation-path\SCM. If the directory you specify does not exist, it is
created.
Consider the following information when specifying the location to install the product:
0 When upgrading and when prompted for the installation path, do not select the
%CA_SCM_HOME% location path\CCC_Harvest from a previous installation. Instead,
either select the default location path (C:\Program Files\CA) or specify a new location.

1 If you specify a non-default installation path that includes an ampersand (&) in a

folder name, the ampersand is included in the path name during installation. However,
the ampersand does not appear in the path name in the destination folder during
installation. Instead, the ampersand is removed and the next character after it is an
underline. For example, if the folder name is CA&SCM, CA_SCM is displayed.
However, the folder name used for the installation is CA&SCM.
2 If you have installed another product component on this computer, such as the
server or agent, you must install the client in the same location as the existing component.
3 The plug-in for Eclipse is installed and maintained separately from the product
components.

8. When prompted, select how you want to install the client by selecting one of the
following options.
Typical
Installs the client with the most popular features.
Custom
Select optional features for your client installation.

9. Continue following the on-screen instructions to complete the client installation.

In addition to the features you have selected, the following CA shared components are
automatically installed:
0 Enterprise Communicator (PEC). If you want to uninstall this component, you
must use the Windows Add/Remove control panel. You cannot uninstall PEC if the
product is still installed.
1 The Public Key Infrastructure (eTPKI). This component is installed automatically
through the product installation.
2
Note: Because these components are shared by other CA products, they are not removed
when the product is uninstalled. They are separate components in the Windows
Add/Remove control panel and must be removed separately.

Note: If you specify a non-default installation path that includes an ampersand (&) in a
folder name, the ampersand is included in the path name during installation. However,
the ampersand does not appear in the path name in the destination folder during
installation. Instead, the ampersand is removed and the next character after it is an
underline. For example, if the folder name is CA&SCM, CA_SCM is displayed.
However, the folder name used for the installation is CA&SCM.
