WebBrix 8.1 Readme file

This document provides additional information for installing and configuring WebBrix. It assumes the user is familiar with launching applications, as well as defining Windows Users and their privileges.

These instructions are intended to help when installing the WebBrix application; they do not take into account specific security requirements (i.e. who is allowed to run WebBrix). It is the end user's responsibility to establish their own security policies and follow more restrictive practices according to their individual needs.

================= INSTALLATION QUICK START =================

* Reboot the PC. This ensures that the Operating System does not lock files, which would prevent updating.

* Log in to the PC as a User with local Administrators rights.

* Run [Drive Letter]:\Setup.exe. UNC paths are not supported.

* Check the logs when setup is complete.

* The error log file is C:\ProgramData\WebBrix\AMTErrorLog.txt

(if this file is missing, no errors were logged).

* Windows Installer Package install logs are located in C:\Program Files (x86)\WebBrix\InstallLogs\.

* The database install log is C:\Program Files\WebBrix (x86)\InstallLogs\DatabaseDeploy.log.

================= NOTES =================

* DCOM/Service Settings - If the various settings relating to DCOM (RunAs user account, security) or Services need to be changed after running setup, it can easily be done by running the ConfigUtil.exe utility located in the application install directory.
