Perform installation under the user who has local administrator permissions.
Before installation make sure that a server role has been added if the web application is installed on server Windows OS. If web server is installed on a non-server Windows OS, before installing connect IIS services.
A web application back end can be installed on ASP.NET using the PP9WebServer.exe installer (common for x86 and x64 platforms).
The installer executes the following operations:
Installs web application files.
Sets up IIS.
Creates a pool of applications and a virtual directory.
Installs web service console (optional).
NOTE. To ensure correct installation, check that Internet Information Services package is installed at the workstation. Instructions for installing the package can be found in the documentation for the appropriate package.
To start the installation, run the FP9WebServer.exe file. After starting, the installation program checks for an earlier version of Foresight Analytics Platform, and if earlier versions are found, it will be prompted to update Foresight Analytics Platform.
A dialog box where to select the installation language opens if an earlier version is not found:
The default language is the language selected in regional settings (see Control Panel > Language and Regional Settings > Regional Settings tab). The selected language is also used as a Foresight Analytics Platform interface language.
NOTE. Interface language of Foresight Analytics Platform can be changed after the installation.
The first page of the installation wizard with background information is displayed next:

At the next step the installation wizard prompts the folder, in which Foresight Analytics Platform web application will be installed. By default, it is installed to the C:\Program Files\Foresight\ or C:\Program Files(x86)\Foresight\ folder on installing to x64 OS. Click the Change button to change the installation folder.
Click the Next button to continue the installation.
On the next page, select the radio button of the required installation type. By default, the custom installation is executed, in this case it is available to limit the list of installed components.
