The C:\Program Files (x86) folder is still required for some components of Kofax Front-Office
Server. To support these components, the installer does the following:
„
Bonjour is installed in both C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86). A Bonjour
subfolder is created in each folder.
„
VRS and PostgreSQL are installed in C:\Program Files (x86). The PostgreSQL database is
installed on the C drive even if Kofax Front-Office Server is installed on another local
drive. There must be sufficient space on the C drive to accommodate the database. Refer to
Requirement for Free Hard Drive Space for more information.
„
All other files are installed in the installation path you specified.
