details on how to install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, if this is not already done.
Note
If the same version of PlanetPress Connect is already installed on the target machine,
you will be presented with options to either Uninstall or Modify the existing instance.
If Modify is selected, the standard installation Wizard sequence will be followed, but with
all options from the existing installation selected.
Selecting the required components
After clicking the Next button, the component selection page appears, where the different
components of PlanetPress Connect can be selected for installation. Currently, the following
are available:
l
PlanetPress Connect Designer: The Designer module (see "The Designer" on
page355) can be installed standalone (with no other installed modules)on as many
machines as you like. It does not require a license to run as a standalone designer tool .
This allows for any number of people to use the Designer for creating jobs, but without
production capabilities such as automation and commingling.
l
PlanetPress Connect Server: The Server back-end that provides Connect production
capabilities such as production content creation (print output, HTMLcontent for emails
and web pages), automation, commingling and picking.
l
MySQL Product: A supplied MySQLdatabase used by PlanetPress Connect.
The database is used for referencing temporary Connect files and for sorting temporarily
extracted data, and similar.
A pre-existing MySQL or Microsoft SQL server (referred to as an external database, in
this documentation) could be used instead, for the same purposes.
The external database could reside on the same computer or on a separate server.
If you wish to make use of an external database, please make sure the MySQL Product
option is not selected.
