Installing Domino® on Windows™

You can install Domino® on a supported Microsoft™ Windows™ system by following this procedure, or you can perform a silent installation of a local server.

Before you begin

Before you install the Domino® server program files on a Windows™ system, do the following:
  • Temporarily disable any screen savers and turn off any virus-detection software. Make sure that all other applications are closed.
  • Complete any pending reboot actions.

Procedure

  1. Run the install program. You can directly execute the downloaded .exe file from the My HCLSoftware Portal.
  2. Read the Welcome screen, and click Next.
  3. Read the license agreement, accept the terms, and click Next.
  4. Choose the program directory, and choose whether you are installing partitioned servers. Click Next.
  5. Specify the data directory in which to copy the software. If you are installing a partitioned server, specify a data directory for each partition. You can install up to eight partitioned servers.
    Note: For partitions, use the Add button to add each of the data directories to the list. If they are not added to the list they will not be installed.
  6. Select the server type:
    • Domino® Utility Server -- Installs a Domino® server that provides application services only, with support for Domino® clusters. The Domino® Utility Server removes client access license requirements. Note that it does NOT include support for messaging services. See full licensing text for details.
