Installing the Server/Client/FEP using Custom Mode

Scenario

You have acquired the software distribution for Desigo CC containing all the required folders including
- Brand,
- EM folder with the required extensions along with their EULA and other required files/folders, for example, PostInstallation folder containing post-installation steps
- GMS folder containing Languages and Prerequisites folders along with other required files
- (Optional) Languages folders for additional language packs
- (Optional) QualityUpdates or Hotfixes folder for installing patches.
- Gms.InstallerSetup.exe.

On a fresh computer, where no prerequisites are installed (including IIS), you want to install the Setup type – Server/Client/FEP using the custom installation mode. You can use the same steps to install and configure IIS on the selected Setup type, to configure Server/Client/FEP with local web server (IIS).

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 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, 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.
