Installation Wizard
Starting the PlanetPress Connect installer
The PlanetPress Connect installer may be supplied as an ISO image or on a DVD.
l If an ISO image, you can choose between the following, depending upon your Operating
System and the choices available:
l Burn the ISO image onto a DVD
l Un-zip the contentsto a folder (keeping the internal folder structure intact)
l Mount the ISO image from within Windows Explorer
l If on a DVD, either insert the DVD and initiate the installation from there or copy the
contents to a folder (keeping the folder structure intact)
Navigate to the PlanetPress_Connect_Setup_x64.exe and double-click on it. After a short
while the Setup Wizard will appear as a guide through the installation steps.
PlanetPress Connect requires prior installation of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.
Please refer to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21 for more details
on how to install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, if this is not already done. 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.
Running the Installation with extra logging
The installer can be run with enhanced logging options, if needed.
To do so, run the PlanetPress_Connect_Setup_x64.exe from the command line with one of the
following command line options:
l
PlanetPress_Connect_Setup_x64.exe --verbose
This adds extra debugging style logging to the installation process.
l
PlanetPress_Connect_Setup_x64.exe --trace
This adds full trace style logging to the installation process. The log file this produces will
be very large, as this option logs everything.
