OS Requirements: The Millenium Xtra System has been tested under and designed to function under the following Operating Systems: • Microsoft Windows 2003 Server • Microsoft Windows XP • Microsoft Windows Vista • Microsoft Windows 2008 Server • Microsoft Windows 2008 Server R2 • Windows 7 2. Packages which have to be preinstalled. Before starting the Millenium Xtra Installation, make sure that you have successfully installed the following packages: 1. .NET Framework 3.5 (with SP1) 2. Microsoft SQL Server (2000, 2005 or 2008, Full or MSDE/Express edition) installed and running 3. IIS (Internet Information Services) installed and running (for computers under Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server). IIS is included but not installed on Windows XP nor Windows 2003 Server by default. See 2.1 for all necessary steps required before running Millenium Xtra Setup on computers using Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server. For Windows Vista and later Operating Systems, Millenium Xtra Setup will install and tune IIS automatically. • Note. Microsoft Silverlight 3.0 is required for client machines only. Millenium Xtra Server (computer where Millenium Xtra system is being installed), does not require Microsoft Silverlight installation, if it will not be used as a client machine simultaneously. Before starting of Millenium Xtra System installation, please download and install these required packages as described on corresponding download pages: 1. Microsoft SQL Server http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=22 2005 Express Edition 0549B5-0B07-4448-8848-DCC397514B41&displaylang=en 2. Microsoft .NET Framework http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=AB 3.5 Service Pack 1 99342F-5D1A-413D-8319-81DA479AB0D7&displaylang=en 3. IIS See some notes on IIS setup below (2.1) 1 | Page Millenium Xtra - Software Installation Guide 2.1. IIS setup under Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server. For computers operating under Windows XP SP3 or Windows 2003 Server, IIS services must be installed before installation of web server (which is included in Millenium Xtra Installation). There are no specific requirements for IIS components. ASP.Net will be registered automatically during Millenium Xtra Setup procedure. For computers operating under Windows Vista, Windows 2008 Server (or Windows 2008 Server R2) and Windows 7, all necessary IIS services will be set up automatically by Millenium Xtra Installer during Millenium Xtra Setup procedure. Client machines also do not require IIS services. If your computer is running Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server, please be sure that IIS services are installed and running before Millenium Xtra Installation. 1. Open Control Panel. 2. Click on “Add or Remove Programs”. 3. Click on “Add/Remove Windows Components”. 4. Windows Components Wizard will appear. 5. Check Internet Information Services (IIS) checkbox. 6. Press Next button. 7. Wait until all necessary IIS components will be set up and tuned (Original OS installation CD will be necessary during this step). 8. Close Windows Components Wizard. 9. Close Control Panel. IIS setup under Windows XP SP3 is shown on figures below: 2 | Page Millenium Xtra - Software Installation Guide World Wide Web Service is required to be installed and must be running before Millenium Xtra Setup procedure is initiated (on Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server only). 3 | Page Millenium Xtra - Software Installation Guide 3. Installation files for Millenium Xtra System: • BootstraperInstall.exe Run BootstraperInstall.exe to start installation of Millenium Xtra System. 4. Process of Millenium Xtra System Installation. 4.1. License Agreement Be sure that you have successfully installed packages mentioned in (2 and 2.1). Run BootstraperInstall.exe, which is included in installation package. Read carefully the License Agreement: If you agree with its terms, press the corresponding radio button, and then press Next button: 4 | Page Millenium Xtra - Software Installation Guide 4.2. Select Components To Install When installer prompts you to select necessary components for installation, please be sure that all of Millenium Xtra System components are checked: 5 | Page Millenium Xtra - Software Installation Guide SQL Database for Millenium Xtra System contains all the necessary presets and defaults, which are intended to start working with Millenium Xtra System immediately after installation. Some specific users may not require SQL Database installation if they are planning to import existing SQL Server data to Millenium Xtra System, etc. Web Site (as well as all necessary IIS services) will be created and configured automatically on Windows Vista, Windows 2008 Server, Windows 2008 Server R2 or Windows 7. Operator can assign specific name for Millenium Xtra Web site (as well as assign port number different from default). Millenium Xtra Web Site could not be configured under Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server. IIS services must be manually installed before starting of Millenium Xtra Installation for computers running Windows XP or Windows 2003 Server. Routing Manager and Controller Manager are system services, required for conventional Millenium Xtra System operation. Note. You may wish to install some of the components to another computer. In this case, uncheck checkboxes with these components. Later operator will be prompted by Millenium Xtra System Installer to assign computer names (or IP addresses) where these components will be installed. See .Net Remoting Ports Configuration (4.7) for Millenium Xtra System below. When Select Components To Install process is completed, press Next button. 4.3. SQL Server Configuration On next screen, Millenium Xtra System Installer will ask the operator to configure SQL Server instance, which will be used in Millenium Xtra System: 6 | Page Millenium Xtra - Software Installation Guide Here Sql Server name may be selected or typed in manually in a way .\sqlexpress (standard instance for the standard installation of SQL Server Express edition on local machine). Note that there are two modes of MS SQL Server Authentication: 1) Microsoft Windows Authentication. When a user connects through a Windows XP, Windows 2003/2008 Server, Windows Vista or Windows 7 user account, SQL Server revalidates the account name and password by calling back to Windows XP, Windows 2003/2008 Server, Windows Vista or Windows 7 for the information. 2) SQL Server Authentication. When a user connects with a specified login name and password from an untrusted connection, SQL Server performs the authentication itself by checking to see if a SQL Server login account has been set up and if the specified password matches the one previously recorded. If SQL Server does not have a login account set, authentication fails and the user receives an error message. These two MS SQL Server authentication modes are described in details in MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa905171%28SQL.80%29.aspx For SQL Server Authentication mode, User Name must be specified. Password may be empty, but it is recommended to specify Password for security reasons. Select the desired MS SQL Server Authentication mode and press Next button. 7 | Page Millenium Xtra - Software Installation Guide 8 | Page Millenium Xtra - Software Installation Guide 4.5. Select Installation Folder The next step is setting up of the Installation Folder(-s) for Millenium Xtra System. By default, Millenium Xtra System is suggested to be installed in C:\Program Files\Synergistics\Millenium Xtra folder (with “One Folder Location” option). Operator can alter this suggestion if necessary by pressing “…” button and choosing the appropriate folder. Also, operator can set up different folders for SQL Server Database Files Location and for Components Folder Location. To specify these folders separately, just uncheck “One Folder Location” checkbox, and indicate necessary folders by pressing “…” button and choosing the appropriate folders separately. Press Next button to proceed to the next step. 4.6. IIS Server Configuration The next step is configuration of IIS Server (for Windows Vista, Windows 2008 Server, Windows 2008 Server R2, Windows 7, or Windows 2003 Server only). Note. On computers running Windows XP this step is omitted. This issue is explained by the following limitations for Windows XP Operating System. IIS included into Windows XP could not create full-valuable Virtual WEB Site. So, the Millenium Xtra System site could not be installed under Windows XP as Virtual WEB Site. For Windows XP Operating Systems, the Millenium Xtra System user could only change
