Installing the Pervasive PSQL Client for Windows
You must install the Pervasive PSQL Client for Windows at the client machine itself; you cannot install it remotely from a server machine.
The Pervasive PSQL Client is installed by default with Pervasive PSQL Server, Pervasive PSQL Vx Server, and Pervasive PSQL Workgroup.
If the installation fails for any reason, the installation log file can be found in the Windows %Temp% directory.
The steps in this section explain how to install Pervasive PSQL Client from its media using the default interactive installation.
