Use the following steps to install the System Center 2012 - Orchestrator Runbook Designer on a single computer.

To install the Orchestrator Runbook Designer on a single computer

  1. On the server where you want to install the Orchestrator Runbook Designer, start the System Center 2012 - Orchestrator Setup Wizard.

    To start the System Center 2012 - Orchestrator Setup Wizard, on your product media or network share, double-click SetupOrchestrator.exe.

    Note

    Before you begin the install of the Runbook Designer, close any open programs and ensure that there are no pending restarts on the computer. For example, if you have installed a server role by using Service Manager or have applied a security update, you might have to restart the computer, and then log on to the computer with the same user account to finish the installation of the server role or the security update.

  2. On the main System Center 2012 - Orchestrator Setup Wizard page, click Runbook Designer.

    Warning

    If Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 is not installed on your computer, a dialog box appears asking if you want to install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. Click Yes to proceed with the installation.

  3. Your computer is checked for required hardware and software. If your computer meets all of the requirements, proceed to the next step.

    If a prerequisite is not met, a page displays information about the prerequisite that has not been met and how to resolve the issue. Use the following steps to resolve the failed prerequisite check:

    1. Review the items that did not pass the prerequisite check. For some requirements, such as Microsoft .NET Framework 4, you can use the link provided in the Setup Wizard to install the missing requirement. The Setup Wizard can install or configure other prerequisites, such as the Internet Information Services (IIS) role.

    2. After you resolve the missing prerequisites, click Verify prerequisites again.

    3. Click Next to continue.

  4. On the Select the installation location page, verify the installation location for Orchestrator, and then click Next.

  5. Review the Installation summary page, and then click Install.
