Installer changes

As a result of this change:

• You must have Java version 8 installed before you begin installation of the Spectrum™ Technology Platform server.
• You will not be able to proceed with installation until you have installed Java. We recommend Azul or Oracle Java, as these are our tested vendor versions.
• See this topic for more information on Java support changes and Java installation requirements: Java support changes.

We have updated the Windows installer process so that the server auto-restart option is no longer enabled by default.

• For standard installations, where the server and repository are on the same physical or virtual machine, check the check box to start the Spectrum™ Technology Platform after installation.
• For clustered installations, where the server and repository are on different physical or virtual machines, do not check the option to auto-start the server, or the server will fail to join the cluster. For more information, see the Spectrum™ Technology Platform Installation Guide.
