Installing the Server/Client/FEP using the Semi-Automatic Installation

Scenario

You have acquired the software distribution for Desigo CC containing all the required folders including
- Brand
- EM with the required extensions along with their EULA and other required files/folders, for example, PostInstallation, containing post-installation steps enabled
- GMS folder containing Languages and Prerequisites folders along with other required files, including the post-installation step for LicenseActivatation enabled ]
- Instructions folder containing one or more GMS Platform.xml files for the Setup type that you want to install along with all the required extensions and their post-installation steps enabled, in order to execute them.
For setting up the Setup type – Server/Client/FEP with local web server (IIS), the value of the tag is configured ConfigureIIS = True in the selected GMS Platform.xml file. To skip IIS installation, set the value as False.
(Optional) Languages folders for additional language packs
- Gms.InstallerSetup.exe

NOTE:
During a silent or semi-automatic installation, if a Desigo CC EULA or EM EULA is accepted in an XML file, it automatically accepts the EULA. In this case, it is mandatory to hand over the EULA as a file or printout to the end customer and ensure the acceptance of the EULA, duly signed by the end customer.

On a fresh computer, where no prerequisites are installed, install the Setup type Server/Client/FEP with or without local web server (IIS) using the semi-automatic installation mode.

QualityUpdates and Hotfixes, if available, are installed.

If a patch for an extension is not installed due to non-installation or upgrade of the extension, then such patches are copied to the installed system and when the corresponding extension is selected for installation, these patches are also installed.
Patches from the Quality Updates folder are copied to, GMSProjects > GMSMainProject > Patches > QualityUpdates
Patches from Hotfixes folder are copied to, GMSProjects > GMSMainProject > Patches > Hotfixes

The post-installation steps for License Activation and Project Setup, when enabled, are also executed as part of the installation process. Furthermore, the post-installation step for extensions selected for installation (such as additional software installation, template synchronization, web app creation), if configured, are also executed as a part of the installation process. For background information, see the reference section.
