This guide details to steps to install ET using a zip file.
The binary release allows you to do an installation by using a =E2=80=9C= zip=E2=80=9D file rather than using the executable installation files (.exe= ).
Installing Enterprise Tester from the binary release files is recommende= d for use by purchased users or those trial users who wish to deploy Enterp= rise Tester into an environment where they cannot configure the IIS Default= Website to use the values required by the installer temporarily.
If you are trialing Enterprise Tester, we strongly advise using our MSI = based installer or which allows you to easily install Enterprise Tester and= its prerequisite components.
Installing Enterprise Tester from the binary zip release involves:
You can download the binary installation files from the Enterprise Tester website EnterpriseTester-X.X.XXXXX-Bin= .zip
When you unpack the zip file you will find this structure:
The Data and Web folders are the same as those installed into the "Enter= prise Tester" directory, when using the existing Windows Installer (.MSI fi= le).
Additionally there are 3 text files available:
Note
Each time an upgrade is performed users must check the Upgrade t= ext file and follow specific instructions relating to the release.
Prior to installing please ensure you have the following installed:
If you do not have a database, we recommend installing Sql Server Expres= s 2012 r2 (http://www.microsoft.com/express/Database/<= /a>)
Prior to installing Enterprise Tester you must unpack the zip file into = a suitable directory.
If you do not have a suitable tool installed for unzip files we suggest = downloading 7-zip, which is a powerful (and free) zip/unzip tool for window= s operating systems. http://www.7-zip.org/
Once you have a suitable unzip tool, unpack the binary release file to a= suitable directory - if you are unsure, popular locations include:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Enterprise Tester\
c:\EnterpriseTester\App\
c:\Program Files (x86)\Catch Limited\Enterprise Tester\
When the files have been unpacked you will find that you have a structur= e like this:
Data Folder =E2=80=93 MySql Express database is found here
Web Folder =E2=80=93 Application files are in this folder
changes.txt - readme file summarizing changes in each version of Enterprise=
Tester
install.txt =E2=80=93 the document you are reading now
Follow the directions in the Con= figure web.config topic to setup your database connection informat= ion
Before configuring an application pool for Enterprise Tester to use, you= should give some thought to the application pools identity.
By default in IIS7/7.5 application pools are configured with the identit= y "ApplicationPoolIdentity" by default, but can also default to "Loca= l System", "Local Service" or "Network Service".
If this service is a member of an Active Directory domain we recommend c= reating a specific domain service account for use by Enterprise Tester, thi= s will be useful when configured network filesystem access for the Enterpri= se Tester and makes it easier to identify Enterprise Tester and give it per= missions to a database when using integrated security.
IIS7/7.5:
(Optional) - If you are using a 64bit operating system, and plan on usin= g Enterprise Architect integration with .EAP files, you will need to change= the option "Enable 32-Bit Applications" to true. Note: This will not= be possible if you are using the Oracle 64bit ODP.Net drivers.
At this point you may find it useful to configure the timeout/recycling settings for the applicat= ion pool, a common complaint from customers is that the timeouts are to= o short by default in IIS, so changing these to longer values is advisable.=
Next you will need to create a new application in IIS for Enterprise Tes= ter.
IIS7:
You are now ready to launch Enterprise Tester for the first time= .
From a browser on the same server as Enterprise Tester, access the websi= te - by default this will probably be: http://localhost/E= nterpriseTester/
Or use whichever URL is appropriate for the Default Web site settings th= at are in place.
You will experience a delay (normally between 1 and 2 minutes) while Ent= erprise Tester creates the necessary tables and populates them in the targe= t database, after which you will see a "Step 1 of 3" wizard page displayed,= prompting you to create a new organization.
Refer to the topic = Initial Configuration for more detail.
