Is the installer for windows that you download for CE or is it just the paid versions? If not, are there detailed instructions to install from the Tomcat zip file? In particular, i need to know what the run.bat expects is installed Apache? IIS? MySQL? PHP?
Thanks

For the tomcat bundle, just unpack and run. Once in execution you can launch the web setup from
http://localhost:8080/setup

So . . . I try to install the CE version on my Windows Server 2008 R2 and all I get for a result is this error:
"Neither the JAVA_HOME or JRE_HOME environment variable is defined
At least one of these environment variables is needed to run this program"
So, I ask again: "What software or packages need to be installed to run the CE version?" Based on that error, I'm thinking at least a Java development kit. What about MySQL? Does this batch file install the database too?
Thanks for your comments,
Steve

You have to provide:
* a JDK 1.6.0+ and define the variable JAVA_HOME
* a running MySQL DBMS with an empty 'logicaldoc' database

Is the installation process lengthy or is my server really slow? The script is at a point where it displays "- - -29 more". It took almost a half hour to get there and it sits there. I will let it run all evening if necessary, but am curious if this is normal or not.
Thanks,
Steve

Absolutely not normal, the entire setup procedure is less than a minute.

Well, I am running it on my VM so maybe that slows it down. Two hours later it says 28 more. By Thursday . . . . . . Seriously, I will install on a real server.

Well we install every days on VMs and all is fast, so check your system and above all if you have free disk space.
