  1. Navigate to the Admin.zip file available in the \TSIMAdmin\Windows directory and extract its contents.

    where fullyQualifiedPath indicates the complete path where you have saved the bmc_tsim_admin_install.options file. If the fullyQualifiedPath parameter contains a space in it, the path must be enclosed within double quotes.
