Installing DataConnect Runtime Engine on Windows
Before installing the DataConnect Runtime Engine, you must meet the system requirements provided in Minimum System Requirements for Windows.
Note:  It is not required to install Open JDK because it is installed during Runtime Engine installation.
To install DataConnect Runtime Engine on Windows:
1. Run the di-standalone-engine-64-bit-xxxx-win.exe file.
2. Follow the instructions on the wizard to complete the installation.
3. In the environment variables, set the following:
a. Set a DJLIB variable equal to C:\ProgramData\Actian\DataConnect\di-standalone-engine-64-bit-11.X.X-xx (this provides cosmos.ini file location to the engine)
b. Add the following to your PATH variable before any other engines are mentioned:
C:\Program Files\Actian\di-standalone-engine-64-bit-11.X.X-xx\runtime\di9 (this allows the UI to find the engine to use)
c. If required, you can create a batch file as shown that sets the DJLIB and PATH variable and then launches eclipse:
@echo off
set path=C:\Program Files\Actian\di-standalone-engine-11.0.0-xx\runtime\di9;%path%
set DJLIB=C:\ProgramData\Actian\DataConnect\di-standalone-engine-11.0.0-xx
4. Open the cosmos.ini file and set the LicenseFile variable to the location of the v11 license file (or after installing the DataConnect Studio IDE site plug-in, enable DataConnect perspective, go to Help > About DataConnect, click Browse and specify the license file).

djengine -V
The DJEngine version 11.X.X.XX with a few more lines of information related to copyright and license is displayed.
