Installation Procedures

ADVIZOR Analyst, Analyst/X, and Desktop Navigator applications are simple to install: just run “Product Bundle.exe” from the downloaded and unpacked Zip file and enter the license key when prompted. Any previous version of the same application is automatically removed when the new release is installed.

For ADVIZOR Server AE, if there is an older version already installed, the web.config file should be backed up to a different name or path for reference, and the existing version of the product should be uninstalled first. Then the new version can be installed by running “Server AE Bundle.exe”. Note that ADVIZOR Server AE uses a different licensing mechanism than the desktop applications and does not prompt for a license key. After installation, configuration as described below is usually required.

NOTE: When ADVIZOR Server AE is installed, it shows up as a web application named "ADV" under "Default Web Site" in the IIS Manager. Installation will fail if the name "Default Web Site" is not present at the time. The web site name can be customized after ADVIZOR Server AE installation.
