Installing the Server and Stations from the installation CD–ROM

1. Insert the ABBYY FormReader Enterprise Edition installation CD–ROM into your CD–ROM drive.

2. Select the ABBYY FormReader Enterprise Edition item from the

Autorun program’s menu or run setup.exe from the root folder

of the installation CD–ROM. Then follow the installation program’s instructions.

3. In the

Select Network Components dialog box:

• If you wish to install the Data and License Server only, select the Install Server option.

• If you wish to install the Data and License Server and one or several Stations, select both Install Server and

Install Stations options

• If you have already installed the Data and License Server and wish to install one or several Stations, select the

Install Stations option and specify the path to the LicenseBase subfolder of the Server installation folder.

If the Install Server option is selected, the following options become available:

• Copy distribution files onto network server – select this option if you wish to install the Stations from the Data and

License Server over the local area network.

• Interface Language Specifies the interface language for all the stations of the complex.

Note: We recommend selecting the same language for the setup process and for the user interface.

4. In the

Server Installation (MSDE) dialog box, specify the path to the folder where the MSDE (Microsoft SQL Server 2000

Desktop Engine) executable files will be installed and the path to the folder where data will be stored.

Important!

This dialog box is not displayed if:

• The Data and License Server is not installed

• An MSDE version required for operation of ABBYY FormReader Enterprise Edition has already been installed on your

computer.

5. In the

Server Installation (Database) dialog box, specify the database installation parameters.

Important!

• This dialog box will not be displayed if the Server is not installed.

• The network folder where new batches will be stored must be empty and accessible for reading and writing in the local

area network. The path to the folder must be in UNC format.

6. In the

Select Stations dialog box, select the Stations to be installed.

Important!

When you install the Administration Station for the first time, you will not be able to deselect the Administration Station option.

If you install only the Stations, make sure that the protection key is installed on the computer where the Server is installed and

that the Server operates properly.

This dialog box is not displayed if you have chosen not to install the Stations.

7. In the Setup Type dialog box, select a setup type:

• Standard. The default components will be installed in this mode. The default components are determined by the

Administration Station installation components if the Administration Station has already been installed.

• Custom. The default components and the components selected from the Custom Setup dialog box will be installed.

This dialog box is not displayed if you have chosen not to install the Stations.

8. In the Installation folder dialog box, specify:

• The path to the folder where the program files will be installed,

• The path to the local folder where batch copies will be stored (if the Stations are being installed).
