About the common product installer

The product installer is the recommended method to license and install the Veritas products. The installer also enables you to configure the product, verify preinstallation requirements, and view the product's description.

If you obtained a standalone Veritas product from an electronic download site, the single product download files do not contain the general product installer. Use the product installation script to install the product.

At most points during an installation, you can type b (back) to return to a previous section of the installation procedure. The back feature of the installation scripts is context-sensitive, so it returns to the beginning of a grouped section of questions. If an installation procedure hangs, use Control - c to stop and exit the program. After a short delay, the script exits. You can also enter q to quit the installer or ? to display help information.

Default responses are in parentheses. Press Return to accept the defaults.

Additional options are available for the common product installer.
