Automatic Installation

WebOffice 10.9 R4 allows an automatic installation of certain components. Nevertheless a manual adaption after the installation is necessary. Before starting the automatic installation, please read the limiting factors carefully and contact your WebOffice support team to clarify whether this type of installation is appropriate for your system.

The automatic installation is exclusively suitable for a single server scenario in which WebOffice 10.9 R4 specific components (e. g. Apache Tomcat, WebOffice web application, WebOffice author, WebOffice extensions, etc.) of previous installations must not exist.

Precondition for a correct installation using the automatic setup is a correct installation of ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Desktop.

An activated anti virus software might cause an incorrect execution of the automatic installation. Please pay attention to stop/deactivate any anti virus software during automatic installation.
