Installing Web Application Back End on ASP.NET

Execute 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 to be installed to a non-server Windows OS, connect IIS services before installation.

The web application back end can be installed on ASP.NET web server using the PP10WebServer.exe installer.

The installer executes the following operations:

It installs web application files.
It sets up IIS.
It creates a pool of applications and a virtual directory.
It installs web service console (optional).

NOTE. To ensure correct installation, check that Internet Information Services package is installed on the workstation. Instructions for installing the package can be found in the documentation for the appropriate package.
