Installing this TDK

---

If you decide to uninstall QNX Momentics, uninstall its related products first, or you'll leave your system in an inconsistent state. Each Board Support Package, Driver Development Kit, Technology Development Kit, and Source Kit contains a standalone directory hierarchy. If you're installing more than one of these products, don't combine the directories, or you might overwrite some of the files.

On a Windows host

If you've installed QNX Momentics versions 6.2.1 and 6.3.0 so that they coexist on your Windows host, please note: You can't install a 6.3.0 TDK or BSP when the active version is QNX Momentics 6.2.1; set your configuration to 6.3.0. If you switch from 6.2.1 to 6.3.0, you may have to log out of your user session and log back in before installing 6.3.0 BSPs and TDKs.
