An Ingres Blog

One of the new features of Ingres r3 is to allow Ingres to be installed as any user. For the VMS client base this has never been an issue. You could have accounts such as “ingresr3test”, “ingresr3prod” etc..

This functionality has now come to r3. Below is a simple guide on getting it working with Windows XP (should work with Windows 2003, not sure about Win2K).

1. Create new user account for the new ingres instance, eg ‘ingres302′
2. Add the new user to the ‘Administrator’ group
3. Grant the new user the following permits
   1. ‘Act as part of the operating system’
   2. ‘Log on as a service’
4. Start a command prompt as the new user, enter the new password when asked:

   runas /user:ingres302 cmd.exe

5. Within this new command shell change to the directory.
6. Execute the install:

   install.exe

7. Ingres should then install as normal but under the new account.

Alternatively you can combine steps 4 and 6 in one go by doing:

runas /user:ingres302 install.exe

from within the ingres install area.
