The Developer Client is a version of the Developer which contains a client database that connects to a shared server.
There are two things your administrator should supply to you before you install the Developer on your local workstation:
The name of the web server and virtual directory where the Library is located.
Your user credentials: either your Windows login account, or a user name and password that your administrator has created.
You must have administrator privileges to the computer or at least have necessary permissions set to install the software.
To install the Developer client, launch the Setup.exe file located in the root folder in the software installation files. If a Security Warning appears, click Run. You are then prompted to choose the language for the Installer, and the Install Wizard appears. During installation, you proceed through these screens in the Install Wizard.
License Key: Depending on the product you are installing, this screen may appear. If it does, click Browse to navigate to the location of the license key file (usually license.xml).
Welcome: From this screen, you can access the Installation and Upgrade manuals in Adobe Acrobat format.
Setup Type: From the Configuration list, select Developer Client.
Language Selection: Choose the language for the Developer server and library. This sets the default language for the templates and publishing styles in the library.
Software Requirements: Third-party applications are required for installation. If the applications are not present, this screen appears notifying you which applications are needed. You can choose not to continue and abort the installation. If you choose to continue, the applications are installed. If one of them is the .NET framework, the .NET Installer may prompt you to close the Installer. Ignore this warning and do not shut down the Installer.
Select Program Folder: You can indicate the desired program folder or accept the default.
Choose Destination Location: You can accept the default target location, or click Change to specify a different one.
Ready to Install: The Installation Wizard is ready to install the software. Click Back to review or modify any settings.
Setup Status: This screen appears while the files are being installed, the database and virtual directory are being created, and IIS is being configured.
Installshield Wizard Complete: During the installation a file might be in use by the operating system on the computer; this will require a reboot to complete the installation. Also, make sure to run Windows update to get the latest patches from Microsoft.
