of the AquaLogic .NET Application Accelerator, including the .NET
Portlet API, WCC and related files, run ALDotNetPortletToolkit_v1-1_mp1.exe.
The ALDotNetPortletToolkit_v1-1_mp1.exe installation package installs
the .NET Portlet API, WCC and related files. .
- Copy the installation package to a location on the host
server.

the table that follows.

| Choose Components |
Choose the components
to install:
- .NET Portlet Toolkit: Installs class libraries and VisualStudio
templates for both ALI and WSRP portlets.
- .NET Web Controls Consumer (WCC): Installs all runtime
components required to run the WCC. If you are developing WSRP portlets,
this component is not required.
- Image Service Files for ALI Image Server: Installs the
URL-addressable resources that must be available for the WCC to operate
correctly. This option can be used to install these resources on a
separate static content server such as IIS or Apache. If you are developing
WSRP portlets, this component is not required.
Note: If you are installing in a distributed system (ALI is
on a different server than the server that hosts portlets), you must
run the installer twice: 1) install the .NET Portlet Toolkit and WCC
on the remote server that hosts portlets, and 2) install the Image
Service Files on the server that hosts the ALI Image Server.
