Thingworx Navigate 9.0 installation

Hello,

 

I have installed Thingworx 9.0 instance and running an application. I have installed it manually without using installer.

Based on requirements, I have to install Thingworx Navigate 9.0. when I'm trying to install navigate it's again asking me to install Thingworx foundation using installer. Is there a way to install Navigate without removing existing instance. The server is having only one drive so i can't use two instances also.

 

Any suggestions on this?

 

-thanks,

Abhiram

    Thanks for your feedback. I understand your point but this is the intended design for the moment.

    Hello,

    Navigate installer is looking for a file called :

     

    C:\Users\<USERNAME>\.ptc_ccif\ThingWorxFoundation.xml

    with content :
     
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding='utf-8'?> <installationInfo>         
        <projectFlavor>MSSQL</projectFlavor>     
        <applicationName>ThingWorxFoundation</applicationName>     <applicationVersion>9.0.0</applicationVersion>     <applicationInstallDir>C:\ThingWorxFoundation</applicationInstallDir>
    </installationInfo>
     
    Please create this file, change vaule in bold accordingly to your current installation and re-launch Navigate installer.
     
    Kind regards.

    Hello,

     

    So i think you need to re-install TWX 9.0 with installer. No other solution.

    Kind regards.
