How to Do It

ü

Set up the Framework user as a Windows user

You need to set up a valid Windows user and password on the target Windows server which will be used by the client application to sign on to the Framework.

If you are using Framework Users and  Authority, the same userid and password must also be defined in the Framework.

Note that Windows passwords are case sensitive even though Framework passwords are not. You need to remember this when logging on to Framework because your password will be checked by the target Windows server.

Install the deployment material

Install the package by double-clicking the package .MSI file.

The setup program automatically launches the Framework. When the Framework is first launched executable files are copied and the Framework is displayed.

The application is ready to be used.

If you encounter problems during the installation, check the MSI*.log file in the end user's defined %TEMP% folder, for example: MSI2ce4c.log. 

As well as installing the Application, a standard Windows program menu folder will be created for each Application using the Company and Application descriptions as folder names. This means that every Application built with the same Company details and installed on the same PC will be grouped together.

Apply server license

A server license needs to be applied to the server system.

Test the server

Test that your server is correctly set up.

Execute a form that connects to the server from a client PC.

If there are any errors, inspect the x_err.log file on the server.
