This document provides procedures for three main installation
scenarios:
- "Basic" installation
- This scenario allows you to install a single version of XL C/C++ to
a default location. This scenario is applicable to the majority of users,
and is the recommended method of installing the product. For an overview of
the steps that you need to follow to perform a basic installation, refer to Tasks for basic installation, which provides links to the relevant procedures
in this guide.
- "Advanced" installation
- This scenario allows you to maintain multiple versions of XL C/C++ on
a single system, or to install the product to a non-default location.
This scenario is only applicable to advanced users, who have specialized needs;
it is not recommended for the majority of users. For an overview of the steps
that you need to follow to perform an advanced installation, refer to Tasks for advanced installation, which provides links to the relevant procedures

an existing XL C/C++ V8.0 basic or advanced installation. For an
overview of the steps that you need to follow to perform an update, refer
to Tasks for basic installation or Tasks for advanced installation,
depending on the type of installation you need to update.
