Hello, I am trying to download Adabas on windows 10 but when I run the ADACE\_Install.bat file I getting a cmd prompt asking to “Press any key” (you can find the screen shot in attached file"). After I press any key, I am not getting nay further screen prompts to process further execution. Other way, I tried to directly run the SoftwareAGInstaller.exe file, in which I get a screen promt where I am asked to enter Software AG Empower username and password. And I don’t have the Empower credentials for username and password, also I am not aware of from where to create it. Kindly let me know the issue here or some other way to download it. Look forward to a response soon. Best Regards, Jolly. [First screen prompt.docx](https://techcommunity.softwareag.com/uploads/short-url/iBjmQzYuAan70udqDlEsp1MBgFJ.docx) (116 KB) ---

The message is clear. Remove the existing Adabas installation, or install the CE on another machine. Could it be that a previous CE installation failed, but left enough of a trail to look like Adabas is already installed? The Installer is not intended for Community Editions; it requires credentials which are provided only to corporate partners and paying customers for the installation of purchased products. ---

Could you please suggest how can we check if there is an already installed CE or Adabas installation in windows 10? Regards, Jolly Mongia. ---

I haven’t installed the CE for a long time, so I don’t remember all the details. Perhaps Adabas was installed automatically along with Natural. Try running this program. ```auto DEFINE DATA LOCAL 1 EMP VIEW EMPLOYEES 2 PERSONNEL-ID END-DEFINE READ (10) EMP BY PERSONNEL-ID DISPLAY *ISN PERSONNEL-ID END-READ END ``` Otherwise, the default installation directory is c:\SoftwareAG. See if you have an Adabas subdirectory. Or, click - Start → Settings → Apps → Software AG Products → Uninstall That should display a list of installed products. As a last resort, try uninstalling the CE and then reinstalling it. ---
