Invantive Studio is distributed as an MSI installer for Microsoft Windows. Install it as follows: - Download the installer from [[Invantive Studio/Invantive Studio|the product page]]. - Run the MSI file and follow the steps of the installer. - Start Invantive Studio. On a device which holds no licence yet, the licence window opens first; see [[Invantive UniversalSQL/General/License Registration|License Registration]]. The configuration folder is created on first use. It is `%USERPROFILE%\Invantive` and is shared with the other Invantive products on the device; its location can be moved with the environment variables described in [[Folders]]. Invantive Studio holds its models in a repository on an Oracle database of release 11g Release 2 or newer. That database is defined in the [[Settings]] file in the configuration folder and its credentials are held in the [[Invantive Keychain]] next to it.
