Express Installation

An Express installation sets up a fully configured

single-user/single-machine system with either a fresh
database or a Vision Demo database
You specify basic configuration parameters, such as
database type and name, top-level installation directory,
and port increments
The remaining directories and mount points are supplied
by Rapid Install using default values

This type of installation contains a default set of core

Applications products
It uses the US7ASCII character set (for a fresh database)
and the UTF8 character set for a (Vision Demo install)
