nService free trial download and installation instructions
|
|
1.
|
Install or enable IIS
If you see the Internet Information Services (i.e. IIS Manager) in Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, IIS is installed. If you don't, you need to install it before
you install nService.
Windows 2003:
Run Manage Your Server and add the Application Server Role with ASP.NET enabled.
Windows 2008:
Run Server Manager and add the Application Server Role with Web Server Support and
IIS 6 Management Compatibility.
Windows Vista:
Turn on IIS, ASP.NET and IIS 6 Management Compatibility according to the screen
shot on the right.
Windows XP Pro:
Install IIS 5 from Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Windows Component.

Download and run this setup.exe (about
600K)
This setup program will download and install .Net Framework 2.0, SQL Server Express
Edition and nService. Please remain connected to the Internet. Please ignore all
"Unknown publisher" warnings. On Vista, keep an eye on the SQL Server installation
because Vista will ask you for permission to continue twice and to reboot once.
Installation will fail if you don't respond to them in time.

Configure nService
Before it ends, the setup program brings up the nService Configurator. (Vista displays
it behind the setup program. Click its title bar to bring it to the foreground.)
Click the Configure button to create the database, etc. When it is done, close it
and wait for the setup program to end.

If you are testing from another computer, change the localhost to the IP address
or the fully qualified domain name of the server. Keep in mind that your nService
web site will be slow the first time you use it because IIS needs to compile
its web pages.
