INSTALLATION: UPGRADING FROM AUTOSTORE 5.0

1. If a previous installation of AutoStore exists on your system, you will need to uninstall this version of

AutoStore in order to continue with the installation of AutoStore 6. If you continue without uninstalling, you

will receive a notification and the installation will stop. Select “Finish” to continue.

Note that when upgrading from AutoStore 5.0 to AutoStore 6 many components have been moved to a

“Sunset” category. Components that are under this category will continue to be supported but will no longer

receive software updates. These components will not be provided with the default AutoStore 6 installation.

In order to install any of these components, you must use the Update Services option within the AutoStore 6

Process Designer to download and install.


5


2. From the Start Menu, under the NSi folder, select “Uninstall”. You may need administrator rights to run the

uninstall program. If this is the case, right-click on “Uninstall” in the Start Menu and select “Run as

administrator” or ask your system administrator to grant you the necessary permissions.

Note: Once you install AutoStore 6, you will NOT be able to revert back to a previous version of AutoStore.

You should check with your system administrator before uninstalling any program.


6


3. You will be asked to confirm your decision to uninstall AutoStore.

4. It is possible you will receive notifications that background processes required for AutoStore are currently

running and need to be closed before continuing with the uninstallation process. If this occurs, select “OK”

and continue. (This may occur several times. In each instance, simply select “OK” to continue).


7


5. You may be asked to restart your computer. Check with your system administrator prior to restarting your

computer. If no other necessary processes will be affected, select “Yes” to restart. If you do not receive this

message, manually shutdown and restart your computer.

6. Once the uninstallation process has completed, start the installation process for AutoStore 6. Locate the

software installation file. Right-click this file and choose “Run as administrator”, if you are installing on

Windows 2008. Otherwise, double-click the file to begin the installation process.

Note: If the installation is being retried after a first failed attempt, installation files may have already been

downloaded. In this instance select “OK” to overwrite, and then continue with the AutoStore 6 installation.

7. Proceed to the NEW INSTALLATION section of INSTALLATION of this guide which will guide you through the

remaining installation steps.


8


INSTALLATION: NEW INSTALLATION

1. Locate the software installation file. Right-click this file and choose “Run as administrator”, if you are installing

on Windows 2008. Otherwise, double-click the file to begin the installation process.

2. If prompted to allow the program to make changes to the computer, select “Yes”.


9


3. Select a download path or accept the default location where the AutoStore 6 Installation files will be

downloaded.

The “Download and Install” option has been selected, but you may choose “Download only” which will allow

you to download the installation files and resume installation at a later time or “Install from local source”

which will allow you to install from a local drive where the installation files have been stored.

Note that to “Install from local source”, both the large executable file and the zipped configuration file must

be available. The location of this folder should be entered as the “Local path”. Additionally, the large

executable file cannot on its own be used to initiate the installation process. Instead, the lite installer must be

used to begin the installation process.

4. If .NET Framework 3.5 and .NET Framework 4.0 have not been installed, you will see a warning message. If

you receive this message, select “Finish”. Then download and install both.NET Framework 3.5 and .NET

Framework 4.0. Check with your system administrator before installing .NET Framework 3.5 and .NET

Framework 4.0.


10


5. Once .NET Framework 3.5 and .NET Framework 4.0 have been installed, resume the installation process for

AutoStore 6. The “Download and Install” option has been selected, but you may choose “Download only”

which will allow you to download the installation files and resume installation at a later time or “Install from

local source” which will allow you to install from a local drive where the installation files have been stored.

Again, note that to “Install from local source”, both the large executable file and the zipped configuration file

must be available. The location of this folder should be entered as the “Local path”. Additionally, the large

executable file cannot on its own be used to initiate the installation process. Instead, the lite installer must be

used to begin the installation process.

6. Wait for installation files to complete downloading. This may take several minutes depending on your network

speed.


11


7. The AutoStore installer may install additional software that is required prior to installation of AutoStore 6.

Select “Install” to continue. Check with your system administrator before installing any of these items.

Note: At this point in the installation process, if your previous installation of AutoStore was unlicensed

(licenses were expired), you will need to enter your Maintenance Contract ID to receive a Unlock Key to

proceed with installation. If you encounter this message, please see the section labeled LICENSING AFTER

UPGRADING FROM AN UNLICENSED AUTOSTORE 5.0 INSTALLATION which can be found in the LICENSING

section of this guide.


12


8. Once prerequisites have been installed and after any necessary server reboots, the AutoStore 6 installation

will begin.

9. If the terms of the end-user licensing agreement (EULA) are acceptable, select “I accept the terms in the

license agreement”. Otherwise select “I do not accept the terms in the license agreement and end the

installation process”. Not accepting EULA terms will end the installation process.


13


10. Provide user and company information.


14


11. By default, all capture and process components are pre-selected for installation. It is possible to select

additional route components; however, any route component that requires additional client software will not

be pre-selected. Only choose these additional route components if you are certain you have the prerequisite

software. The installation will fail if these prerequisites are not met. You may also alter the default installation

path by clicking the “Change” button and navigating to a new location. The path must be a local path and not a

network location.


15


12. Select “Install”, to begin the installation process.

13. A status bar will show the progress of the installation.


16


14. The installer will indicate when it has finished. Post-install actions will then be performed.

15. A final confirmation of AutoStore 6 installation will be displayed.
