To install Prizm Content Connect, follow these steps:
- Start the installer from any location on your system. Click Install PCC to continue:
- Carefully read the information contained in the License Agreement form before making a decision to accept the terms of the agreement. Choose I accept the terms in the License Agreement to accept the conditions outlined in the License Agreement and then click the Next button to continue the installation (or click Cancel to exit the installation process):
- The Installation Path dialog is displayed. Specify the destination directory where the Prizm Content Connect product should be installed or choose the default installation destination directory. Then click Next:
- The Select Features dialog is displayed:
The Select Features dialog allows you to define what components of Prizm Content Connect you want to install:
-
Client – Installs the different client viewers that can be used with the PCC platform services:
- HTML5 Viewer – A configurable and responsive Zero Footprint viewer.
- Local File Viewer Installer – A windows application that will allow you to load content local to your system in a PCC Client Viewer.
- Services – Installs the platform services that enable content conversion.
- Prizm Application Services - Installs the service that provides application-level logic for the viewer, such as enabling document viewing through the PCC back-end services, saving and loading of markup, and handling opening of documents and creating viewing sessions.
You can also select how the installer will update IIS to run PCC:
- Configure Samples - Deselect the first option if you do not want the installer to configure the samples on this system.
- Re-register ASP.NET - The second option allows you to register ASP.NET 4.0 with IIS. The Prizm Content Connect Services and Samples require ASP.NET 4.0 to function. If ASP.NET is already configured, this will not undo any current configurations.
- Once you have made your selections, click Next to move forward with the installation. The Account Information dialog is displayed:
During installation, when specifying a login account for the Prizm Connect Service, you MUST choose a user which has administrative privileges. Otherwise, the installation will fail.
- The next step in the installation process allows you to define the account that will be used to run the Prizm Service that is installed on the system. The Account Information dialog will default to the user running the installation, but you can enter in a user name or use the Browse button to select a user from the local system or domain. Once a user has been selected, the password for the user account will need to be entered into the dialog.
The user account specified will be given the "Log on as a Service" permission. This permission is required in order for a user account to be used as the service account.
- Once you have entered in all of the appropriate information, click Install to continue. (If the password is not correct an error dialog will be displayed noting that the password is not correct.) The Installation dialog is displayed with a progress bar:
The Installer will unpack the product, and lay out and configure the product as defined in the configuration dialogs. While PCC is installing, you can look at the Release Notes, Online Demos or Code Examples from the links provided.
- About three-quarters of the way through the installation, the installer will launch the Prizm Licensing Utility. Follow the steps outlined in this utility to license the product for use. Please refer to the Prizm Licensing Utility instructions for help on obtaining a license:
- After the Prizm Licensing Utility completes, the installer will continue setting up your system with Prizm Content Connect. Once the configuration is complete, the Installation Complete dialog is displayed:
- There will be an option to launch the Services Status Page and product Release Notes if you wish to view them directly after the installation. Click Finish to exit the Installer.
