APPX 5.0.0 - Windows XP - New Installation

APPX 5.0.0 - Windows XP - New Installation

Overview

A typical APPX installation on a Windows XP system where APPX has not been previously installed performs the following steps:

Creates the destination directory and installs APPX into it.
Runs APPX to allow you to complete the configuration
- Add APPX System Administrators to the APPX user file
- Configure and start the APPX Login Manager service
- Configure and start the APPX Audit Manager service
- Install the license key

Some of the above steps can only be completed by a user who has administrative privileges. Therefore, installation of APPX on a Windows XP system must be performed by a user who has administrative privileges.

Installation on Windows XP

First, log on to your XP desktop system using a user name that has administrative privileges.

Then, download the APPX/Windows installer (setup.exe) from the APPX web site or the APPX ftp server and save it to your Desktop or to any other suitable folder.

Run the APPX/Windows installer (setup.exe). If you are presented with a Security Warning dialog, click on the "Run" button to continue with the installation.

The APPX Setup Wizard will then proceed with the installation of APPX.

After a few moments, the APPX Setup Wizard will display the Welcome screen. Click on the "Next" button to continue.

Read and accept the license agreement.

Specify the Destination Directory into which APPX is to be installed. As a matter of convention, APPX is usually installed into c:\Appx but may be installed into the directory of your choice.

The APPX Setup Wizard can optionally create a Start Menu. You must specify the appropriate options. If you don't know what to specify on this screen, simply accept the recommended options by clicking on the "Next" button to proceed with the installation.

APPX will then be installed into the specified destination directory.

Finally, you may specify whether or not you want the APPX Setup Wizard to create a shortcut on your desktop and/or a quick launch icon on the taskbar. After specifying the appropriate options, click on the "Finish" button to end the APPX Setup Wizard. APPX will then automatically run to allow you to complete the configuration and installation of APPX.

Run APPX to Complete the Installation

The first time that APPX is run after the APPX Setup Wizard completes, you will need to complete the initial configuration of APPX.
