Installing and configuring prerequisite software

Before you install and configure HCL Discover, you must install and configure the prerequisite software.

About this task

The task flow for installing and configuring prerequisite software is:
  1. Install Microsoft IIS.

    The HCL Discover Portal will not work without IIS installed. It might be that you already have IIS installed and you just need to verify that it is installed.

    Make sure that the Startup Type for IIS is set to Automatic.

    For information about installing IIS, see the appropriate Microsoft web sites and documentation.

  2. Determine what version of .NET installed on your Windows Server

    HCL Discover requires .NET 4.5

  3. If you do not have the required version of .NET installed on your Windows Server, install it from the Microsoft Developer Network.
  4. Enable the required .NET framework features for the Application Development server role.
  5. Register IIS.
  6. Install SQL Server.

    For information about installing SQL Server, see the appropriate Microsoft web sites and documentation.

  7. Configure SQL Server to work with HCL Discover.
