Installing the Docupresentment Server

Before you start the installation...

  • Be familiar with how your web server is set up. You will need to know if the Docupresentment site uses Secured Socket Layer (SSL) and the IP address of the client PC
  • Exit all programs currently running. The setup routine also lets you install various other components required to run the Docupresentment. If these files are already installed and in use when the setup routine runs, conflicts will arise.

Note:

Be aware that when you update an existing installation, your existing configuration files are not changed. This lets you preserve any customizations you have made in those files. Furthermore, keep in mind that if you uninstall the system, all configuration files are removed.

After you download and save the Docupresentment installation to the proper location, start the Docupresentment Server setup wizard executable. Executable name format: ODDSMajorA#.MajorB#.Minor#.Patch#.Build#Platform.exe. Example, ODDS13.0.0.0.40736W64.exe

Once the setup routine starts, follow the instructions which appear on your screen.
