Compatible for WindowsServer2008?

Question

 

Hi,

 

The application is required to Copy a folder(test) which contains some .doc files and .err files under path(c:\Test) as prerequisite so that while installation the application uses these files for configuration.But all the application installation files are installing in "C:\programfiles\(applicationfolder)\"

 

Is this is acceptable in windows server 2008 certification.

 

Note:And after uninstallation also these files won't be deleted.

 

 

Regards,

Satyam

 

 

Answer 1

Hi,

 

As per the Test Case 2.5.1 NOTES 1, the application must only install “by default” to a subdirectory of Program Files or the user’s AppData directories in order to pass this test case. So I believe this is acceptable.

 

Hope the above helps.   

 

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.I had one more doubt on this,what about the folder which we are copying in c:\(Directory) as Prerequisite for the application.As my understanding as that folder is prerequisite we can leave this folder .Please validate my understanding whether correct or not?

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

You can apply for a waiver here with the necessary details. The waiver submission form is available at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=111703. You need to fill this form and send it to [e-mail]

 

However waivers are subject to review by the program team and will be approved against sufficient reasons.

 

Thanks.
