Install Guide

NOTE: Prerequisites specific to an operating system are listed as part of the installation procedures.

Supported Operating Systems And Web Browsers

For information on supported operating systems and web browsers, see the Systems Software Support Matrix .

NOTE: Ensure that the web browser is configured to bypass the proxy server for local addresses.

Multilingual User Interface Support

The installer provides Multilingual User Interface (MUI) support available on the following operating systems:

• Windows Server 2008 (32-bit and 64-bit)

• Windows Server 2008 (64-bit) R2

• Windows Server 2008 (64-bit) R2 SP1

• Windows Small Business Server 2011 (64-bit)

• Windows Server 2012 (32-bit and 64-bit)

• Windows Server 2012 (64-bit) R2

• Microsoft Windows Server 2016

The MUI Pack are a set of language-specific resource files that you can add to the English version of a supported Windows

operating system. The installer supports only six languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.

NOTE: When the MUI Pack is set to non-Unicode languages like Simplified Chinese, set the system locale to Simplified

Chinese. This enables display of the prerequisite checker messages. This is because any non-Unicode application runs

only when the system locale (also called Language for non-Unicode Programs on XP) is set to match the application's

language.

Viewing Localized Versions Of The Web-Based Interface

To view the localized versions of the web interface on Windows, in the Control Panel select Regional and Language Options.
