PVSS Installation of a Project

Need to run this by Xiaofeng to make sure the steps are right

Assumes PVSS installed

• Current patch shouldn’t be later than July 08, because there were problems with the DB since then. I don’t use the DB, so it doesn’t matter much, but…

Get Framework

• Install framework in PVSS as specified• Get fwInstallation package and save• Use a separate directory from the ETM tree

Unpack your project into a folder

Run PVSS, request new project

Standard is OK

Tell it the project name

Browse for the folder

Create new folder

Project Name doesn’t have to be the same as the folder name

General Settings are OK

Wait for a few minutes

And acknowledge the OK

New Project appears

Unpack fwInstallation package:

Make sure you unblock everything it complains about. I use DIM, and Windows firewall wants to make sure that’s all right with me.

Now run the fwInstallation Panel again
