Installation Wizard Sections

System Platform

Only one option can be selected. In order to select a different option, the original one must be unchecked.

Each option includes InTouch Runtime and its corresponding Bootstrap version.

DA Servers
Multple options can be selected.

FSGateway is part of the installation of System Platform 2012 and 2012 R2

Cleanup
All the installation files for all the versions and languages are located on the hard drive of the machine. The Wizard can either
delete these temporary files or leave them on the machine, depending on whether or not this box is checked.

If Acronis True Image is installed on the machine, the next reboot creates a back up image on a hidden partition on the hard
drive. This back up image will be at the point the machine is after all the software has been installed.

Keep in mind that if the installation files were not deleted, they too will be backed up.

If there is not enough space to create the backup image (for example on smaller hard drives), the backup process is not initiated.
Regardless of this checkbox being selected, True Image can be installed with the same back up instructions via the batch file
located at C:\Program Files\Acronis\OverwriteFactory.bat. When this box is selected a backup is created. If at some point the
batch file is launched, it will overwrite the original backup.

Notes
All the temporary installation files are located in C:\WWSoftware. Due to the nature of the System Platform 2012 and 2012 R2,
configuring a silent installation with multiple language selections alters the manual installation to the point where it is no longer
usable. For any further changes to the installation, use the System Platform DVD.

A log file for the installation process is created in C:\InstallLog<date/time>.txt.

On the desktop, a file called Preinstalled Inventory contains all the software that was installed prior to the shipment of the
device. It also contains information regarding how to change to ArchestrA user and how to remove the auto-logon feature of
Windows.

The installation files for SQL Server 2008 R2 are available under C:\SQL2K8R2SSME.
