To install the Developer Client, you will need the following information from your administrator.

The name of the web server and virtual directory where the Library is located.
Your user credentials: either your Microsoft Windows login account, or a user name and password that your administrator has created.

File Permissions on the Client

The file system permissions must be set correctly in the folder where the Developer is installed. You must have at least the following:

Folder where the Developer is installed
Permissions: Read, List, Execute
Data directory folder (C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data)
Permissions: Read, List, Modify, Delete

Note: In a default Microsoft Windows installation, the user has full control over this directory.

To install the 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 will 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.

Note: On Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 will not be properly detected and this dialog may appear prompting to install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 when Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 is already installed. If prompted, select the options to allow the installer to install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0, and the installer will proceed through the rest of the installation flow without installing Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.
Select Program Shortcuts: When you are installing the client, you can choose to install the full Developer or Record It! or both. The full client has all the functionality of the Developer. Record It! is a light version of the Developer, optimized for recording topics. At least one shortcut must be selected.
Select Program Folder: This screen appears if you selected Server and Client from the Configuration list on the Setup Type screen. 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.
