You can install a 32-bit OpenROAD on a 32-bit Windows platforms from the downloaded installation files using the installation wizard. You can install a 32-bit OpenROAD and a 64-bit OpenROAD on a 64-bit Windows system. After installation completes, you may optionally register the 32-bit or 64-bit OpenROAD Server.

To install OpenROAD on Windows
1. Download and unzip the 32-bit or 64-bit OpenROAD installation files from Actian.com.
2. Double-click Setup.exe.
The installation wizard starts.
3. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard.
When the OpenROAD installation wizard starts, it examines your system and does the following:
• The 32-bit OpenROAD Installer lists the eligible 32-bit Ingres or 32-bit Enterprise instances that the 32-bit OpenROAD 6.2 can be installed into.
• The 32-bit OpenROAD Installer will indicate whether there is an existing 32-bit OpenROAD 2006 installation in the list of eligible 32-bit Ingres or 32-bit Enterprise Access instances.
If an instance contains 32-bit OpenROAD 2006, because it is eligible for upgrade, the 32-bit OpenROAD 2006 installation wizard will be launched.
• If you want to upgrade the previous 32-bit OpenROAD 2006 installation, select the Remove option to force the removal of the 32-bit OpenROAD 2006 components. After the 32-bit OpenROAD 2006 components are removed, the 32-bit OpenROAD 6.2 installation wizard is launched automatically.
• If you want to install 32-bit OpenROAD 6.2 in addition to your existing 32-bit OpenROAD 2006 installation, select an existing 32-bit Ingres or 32-bit Enterprise Access instance that does not contain an existing 32-bit OpenROAD 2006 installation.
If no eligible Ingres instances are detected, then a standalone copy of the 32-bit Ingres 10.1 client is installed using an Ingres instance ID of XC.
If an existing copy of 32-bit OpenROAD 6.2 is detected, the wizard uses that 32-bit Ingres or 32-bit Enterprise Access instance as the target for reinstallation.
• The 64-bit OpenROAD Installer will indicate whether there is an existing 64-bit OpenROAD installation in the list of eligible 64-bit Ingres or 64-bit Enterprise Access instances.
• If you want to upgrade a previous 64-bit OpenROAD 6.2 installation, the 64-bit OpenROAD installer will automatically remove the previous version of the 64-bit OpenROAD 6.2 and upgrade it in place.
• If you have an existing 32-bit OpenROAD instance, the 64-bit OpenROAD 6.2 installer will install a new instance.
If no eligible Ingres instances are detected, then a standalone copy of the 64-bit Ingres 10.2 client is installed using an Ingres instance ID of XE.
If an existing copy of 64-bit OpenROAD 6.2 is detected, the wizard uses that 64-bit Ingres or 64-bit Enterprise Access instance as the target for reinstallation.
Note:  If you are installing an OpenROAD standalone Ingres Net, the installation process will take a few more minutes. Do not cancel the installation.
