The ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework setup process consists of two parts, the installation and the post installation. On completion of the setup, you will also be required to perform some manual steps using the Windows operating system tools.
The installation is the setup process where you determine what features you would like to install. The setup program will install the files required for these features.
The post installation is the setup process that completes the ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework installation process. There are two post installation setups, the GIS Server post installation and the Web Applications post installation. In the GIS Server post installation, depending on what features you chose to install, you will be able to Configure ArcGIS Server and Authorize ArcGIS Server. The Configuring ArcGIS Server option will set up the required ArcGIS Server accounts. The Authorize ArcGIS Server option will authorize ArcGIS Server for use. See the GIS Server post installation overview for more information. The Web Applications post install is required when installing the Web Applications feature. It will configure the Web Applications install feature by setting the name of the GIS Server and the account that will be used to connect to the GIS Server in order to process web service requests. See the Web Applications post installation overview for more information.
To successfully install ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework, both the installation and post installation setups must be completed.
Note: The Windows Installer requires the System account to have full control of the system drive and the target drive.
