This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.
Make sure you have installed the appropriate software prerequisites on the server before installing the Access Workflow Designer server components. For details, see Server Prerequisites in the Installation Prerequisites topic.
Setting up the Access Workflow Designer server components involves the following considerations:
Creating Accounts, Logins, Roles, and Users
Note If you encounter errors during Setup, see the Setup Issues in the topic in the Access Workflow Designer Developer's Guide.
For additional installation and setup information, see the modServerReadme file on the Microsoft Office Developer CD-ROM before installing any components.
To install server components
From the Microsoft Office 2000 Developer CD-ROM root directory, click Setup.exe to open the Setup wizard.
On the Install Options page, select Install Access Workflow Designer and other Developer Applications.
On the Component Options page, select Access Workflow Designer Server, and click Install.
Note You return to the Component Options page when installation for the selected component is complete.
When prompted, enter your Windows NT account information and administrator password.
After installation is complete, the server contains the administrative tools and the server infrastructure for team solutions.
Note You may receive the following message: "Unable to verify that FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions are setup and working properly. Please set up FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions manually." If you do, run Fpsrvadm.exe to reregister the FrontPage Server Extensions. For more information, search for "fpsrvadm.exe" in the topic in the Access Workflow Designer Developer's Guide.
Note When installing the Windows NT Option Pack, SMTP Services may not be installed by default. If you receive the message "Unable to start SMTP Services," you must reinstall the Option Pack. For details, see "Unable to start SMTP Services error message" in the topic in the Access Workflow Designer Developer's Guide.
After the server components are installed, you can install the Access Workflow Designer development tools on the server as well. For more information, see Setting Up the Development Computer.
