A user mode install has the following distinguishing characteristics:

  • Application files can reside in any location.
  • Resources that the Agent requires, such as configuration and component definition files, reside under the install location.
  • Universal Manager and Utility components also reside under the install directory, in the .\Sys32\bin folder. To ensure that Managers and Utilities register with the correct local Broker, the SB_ConfigSetup.bat> script is provided to properly configure the environment.
  • By default, a user mode install provides a single working directory for Universal Server components, .\UAHome. A user mode install can still use separate directories for each Server component (as is done for the system install), but doing so requires post-install updates to configuration and component definition files.
  • A user mode install can configure the Universal Broker service to run as an Administrative user account, but that account must already exist.
  • The Universal Broker service name is configurable, and must be unique. The install creates the service and registers its Application event log as the service's display name.
  • A user mode install contains no upgrade logic. Consequently, all user mode installs should be installed in "clean" locations.
  • The user mode install does not create an entry in Programs and Features. To remove a user mode install, see Removing a Universal Agent User Mode Install.


Note
titleNote

A user mode install does not provide any required system libraries. All prerequisites must exist to run the Universal Agent in user mode. If the install cannot find the appropriate Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime and the Microsoft Universal C Runtime, the install will fail with an error.
