Before you begin, please ensure that the individual installing the Installation Manager has local administrator rights on the server.
The Installation Manager should be installed onto the web front end server containing Central Administration.
1. When
you download v11.4 from the CorasWorks download library, you will have a .zip
file that contains a Setup folder with a setup application for the Installation
Manager, plus several other folders that include the v11 components.
Extract the .zip file to a location of your choice. It will create an
upper-level folder called CorasWorks Version 11.
Note: Do not install the Installation Manager or any of the components from
a shared network drive.
2. Locate the CIM_Setup_SP2010.exe file for the Installation Manager in the Step 2 - CW Install Mgr Setup/CIM_Setup_SP2010 folder, right-click on it, and choose to run as an Administrator.
