Install the DataBlast Pro Applications on the Server

Important: These activities should be performed by the DataBlast System Installer, who must have adequate network, domain and administrator permissions to the installation machines.

During installation, the first DataBlast Pro installation wizard also checks whether the following packages and applications are already installed, and installs them if required. An internet connection is required for this step.

  • Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages
  • Datamine License Manager application

The default installation folder is C:\Program Files\Datamine\DataBlast\.

Note: The DataBlast VDRes Editor (DataBlastVDResEditorSetup.x.x.x.exe) is for consultants to manage translations. The PDB files are for debug purposes only. The DataBlast VDRes Editor and PDB files are not required in any customer installation.
