Software Installation
This section covers upgrading an existing Doors software installation, performing a brand-
new installation, troubleshooting some basic installation problems, and deleting an old
software installation. For a brand-new installation, please skip to the New Installation section
below.
Upgrade Installation
If you have an original revision of the Doors software and you're upgrading to a new revision,
you should make a complete copy of the original Doors installation into a backup location for
recovery if there is an issue with the new software installation. You must perform this step
before installing the new revision of Doors as the installation process will overwrite critical
files in the original revision making recovery of the original revision impossible.
