These topics provide help for the PROJECT in a box Professional installer. For those planning an installation or who wish to get an overview of the product we recommend this article as a first step: KB3010200 Overview for System Administrators.

The installer comes in three versions:

• Server - for installing on a Windows Server e.g. Windows 2003 or 2008 Server. It can also be used on a desktop PC e.g. Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 which has the correct prerequisites e.g. a SQL Server database and IIS Web Server.
• Desktop - for installing on a Windows desktop e.g. XP, Vista or Windows 7. Normally you will need to download and install SQL Server Express edition. It installs a simple Personal Web Server, or you can install and use IIS Web Server from your Windows installation disks.
• Client - for installing just the client program on a client PC (desktop or laptop).
