Installing PlanetPress® Connect on Machines without Internet Access
In order to install PlanetPress® Connect it is necessary for the GoDaddy Root Certificate Authority to
be installed (G2 Certificate) on the host machine and for this to be verified online. When a machine
hosting the installation does not have access to the Internet, the installation will fail because the
verification cannot be performed. To solve this problem you must first ensure that all Windows
updates have been installed on the host machine. You then need to complete the following steps:
1. Go to https://certs.godaddy.com/repository and download the following two certificates to
copy to the offline machine:
GoDaddy Class 2 Certification Authority Root Certificate - G2 - the file is gdroot-g2.crt
GoDaddy Secure Server Certificate (Intermediate Certificate) - G2 - the file is gdig2.crt
2. Install the certificates: Right mouse click -> Install Certificate, and follow the steps through
the subsequent wizard.
3. Now copy the PlanetPress® Connect installer to the offline machine and start the installation
as normal
