Installing CAS on Windows

This section provides instructions for installing the Endeca Content Acquisition System on Windows.

Before installing, ensure that you have met the following pre-requisites:
  • Ensure you have administrator privileges on the local machine.
  • Close all running programs.
Note: Even if you are installing on a drive other than the C drive, you should have approximately 400 MB of space available on the system drive before installing. This space is needed temporarily for the installer files that are unpacked on the C drive during the installation regardless of the drive you specified for your installation. The space is cleared after the installation process completes.
