Before installing EPWeb 4, you must ensure that IIS (Internet Information Services) has been installed and properly set up on your computer. Then you will need to download and install two components of EPWeb: the Web Module and the Configuration Module. If you do not already have the proper version of Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 installed on your computer, the installer will assist you with finding and installing this prerequisite before installing the EPWeb components.

Click to expand/collapse textInstalling Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0

When the EPWeb 4 installation begins, it will first make sure you have the proper version of Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 installed.

If you do not have the proper version, the installer will download the correct setup files to install it. After .Net 4.0 is installed, a reboot of your machine will be required.

Once the reboot has been completed, the installation should continue by downloading the necessary files for EPWeb 4.

If you already have Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0 installed, the installer will skip this step.
