Install Locations

Where we say <VERSION>, use the application version string e.g. 2014_1

Executables and libraries are installed in folder:

C:\Program Files\BifrostQC\<VERSION>\

Application configuration is installed into folders :

C:\BifrostQC\
C:\BifrostQC\<VERSION>\
C:\BifrostQC\<VERSION>\root\

The installer itself is copied to the folder:

C:\BifrostQC\Releases\

The installation process will never touch your application configuration, projects or preferences. It will only install or update program executables and libraries. The installer can be safely re-run any time.

Environment Variables

A number of environment variables are setup as part of the installation process. These configure the location of the preference files and license location.

BIFROST_LICENSE_DIR Set to the folder containing the product license file (license.flic) e.g. C:\BifrostQC\License
BIFROST_ROOT_V2014_1 Set to the "root" folder i.e. the folder containing the main preference file general.prefs e.g. C:\BifrostQC\<VERSION>\root
Licensing

For details on how to request a license, see : Licensing.

When received, the license string should be placed in the following file:

C:\BifrostQC\License\license.flic

If you encounter any license problems, please see the troubleshooting steps on our Licensing page.
