You can install the Rational DOORS client on Windows systems only. However, if you want to install the Rational DOORS Web Access interoperation server, you can install it on Linux and Solaris systems.
In addition, you can install Rational DOORS on a Citrix environment. In this scenario, an administrator installs Rational DOORS in a central location and then users can run the client as a remote desktop from multiple locations.
When you use a ping network utility and the echo requests and replies between the Rational DOORS database server and the client take more than 50 milliseconds, a Citrix environment can improve performance.
When you use this installer, you can run a typical or custom setup. For more information about setup types, see Table 1.
