Install Server Service

If you already use the Email Connector or Alerts Server or Report Scheduler then you can skip this section as the CommitCRM Server service is already installed and there is nothing more you need to do.

This part of the installation should be performed on the server itself.

Automatic installation       (requires CommitCRM 14 and up)

Log in to to your Server with a Window's Administrator account and run the installer from:

   Note: The <Installation_Dir> must refer to a LOCAL server path (e.g. c:\ or D:\Software, etc.) and NOT to a shared network name/path.
