Installing on Windows#

EDB provides a graphical interactive installer for Windows. You can access it two ways:

Prerequisites#

You must have a Java JVM (version 1.8.0 or later) in place before Stack Builder can perform a Migration Toolkit installation. Adoptium offers prebuilt OpenJDK binaries from fully open sources.

The Java executable must be in your search path (%PATH% on Windows). On Windows, use the following command to set the search path, substituting the name of the directory that holds the Java executable for javadir :

SET PATH=javadir;%PATH%

Installing directly#

After downloading the graphical installer, to start the installation wizard, assume sufficient privileges (superuser or administrator) and double-click the installer icon. If prompted, provide a password.

In some versions of Windows, to invoke the installer with Administrator privileges, you need to right-click on the installer icon and select RunasAdministrator from the context menu.

Proceed to the Using the graphical installer section in this topic.
