How to avoid common installation mistakes

Shailesh Nikam — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 06:00:00 GMT

Vista comes with UAC and “Research output repository platform” installer may show error prompts during the installation such as,
*Cannot connect to Internet Information Server.(-2147221164)
*Failed to read IIsWebs table.(-2147024891)

Few Tips to avoid these error messages,

*Launch “Setup.exe” with admin privilege
-Right click “Setup.exe”, select option “Run as administrator”
-Current installer does not elevate user rights automatically, so this explicit action is required from user side

*Make sure that user has administrative privileges on the machine on which installer needs to run
-Add user to “Administrator” group
-User should have access to “%SystemDrive%\Inetpub” folder as installer creates default web application at this location

*Check that all IIS features are installed
-Default ASP.Net web application uses few IIS features, which does not get installed as part of the default IIS installation

*Enter correct IIS authentication details during installer screen
-Enter information in the correct format as, Domain\Username

Please make sure that user follows the above guidelines to avoid installer issues.
Let us know if you face any other issues.

Tips to setup correct environment to run repository platform

Shailesh Nikam — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 06:00:00 GMT

The “Research Output Repository Platform” has been built using latest .Net Framework 3.5 and SQL Server/ Express 2008. Also, the installer sets up default ASP.Net web application which requires correct IIS configurations.

So, it is required to setup correct environment to run the platform successfully.

User can use the simplified Microsoft Web Platform Installer to setup machine before proceeding with repository platform installer from, http://www.microsoft.com/web/channel/products/WebPlatformInstaller.aspx(Make sure to select all IIS options under ‘application development’ section) Once user sets up the environment successfully, one can proceed with Repository platform installer.

Am I fulfilling my pre-requisites for installation

davidkane — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 06:00:00 GMT

Hi, I have set up the server as follows:

Windows Server Web Copyright 2007 Microsoft Corporation

Intel Xeon E5410 @ 2.33GHz 4GB RAM Service Pack 1

With,

Microsoft SQL Sever Express 2008.

I am using Windows Authentication on my instance of SQL Server. The user in this case is an Administrator. It is also the same user that I am when I install the Research Platform.

My problem is that I get the message 'Please ensure that the SQL Server Instance exists and that you have access to it'. I have gone through the steps up to 6c, on the Beta installation instructions and can see no way to proceed.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks.

David.
