Installing Enterprise Install Console
You can install Enterprise Install Console on any 32-bit Windows Server, XP, or Vista machine. Do not
install it on a 64-bit operating system.
In order to install Enterprise Install Console, you must have the Microsoft .NET Framework version
2.0 installed. If you have an Internet connection, the Enterprise Install Console installation will
download and install Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0. If you do not have an Internet
connection, you will have to download the Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0 files from the
Microsoft web site from another server, and then copy the setup to your Enterprise Install Console
machine and run it manually.
1. Close any open applications.
2. Start the installation program by launching the setup.exe file that you downloaded or the
setup.exe file from the \EIC subdirectory on the CD.
3. If you are prompted to install Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0, follow the installation
prompts to install the software.
4. When the Enterprise Install Console Welcome screen appears, click Next to continue.
5. Select the directory where you want to install Enterprise Install Console and click Next to
continue.
6. At the Confirm Installation screen, click Next to install Enterprise Install Console.
7. When the installation completes, click Close to exit the installation program.
Starting the Install Console
After Enterprise Install Console is installed, you can start the console by selecting Start, Programs,
Storage Mirroring, Enterprise Install Console.
NOTE: If you are going to be using Enterprise Install Console to install to 64-bit operating
systems, you must have Windows Installer version 3.01.4000.1823 or later on the
machine where you are running Enterprise Install Console. You can verify your version
by checking the properties of msi.dll which is located in the \system32 subdirectory of
system root. (By default, system root is C:\windows.) Right-click the file in Explorer,
select Properties, and view the Version tab. If you do not have the correct version, you
can download it using the Microsoft Update tool.
