Verify installation of IIS and ASP​.NET

RtReports Server requires that ASP .NET and IIS are installed on the target machine. This is achieved by installing the following two server roles:

• Web server (IIS)

• Application server (optional if as described below) you plan to have setup install roles and features.

  Note: This role is not available or required for Windows 2016 or later installations.

The IIS web server must be installed prior to running the setup kit. All other required Windows roles and features/services can be installed:

• Automatically while running the setup kit

  Ensure that the "Install Roles and Features" checkbox is checked during installation.

  A PowerShell Execution Policy change is required for the install kit to automatically install the roles and features. The PowerShell ExecutionPolicy for MachinePolicy and UserPolicy must be set to Unrestricted or Undefined. This setting can be reverted to its original setting after a successful installation.

• Manually using the Windows Server Manager GUI

  In this scenario, the install kit needs to be ran with the Install Roles and Features checkbox unchecked during installation.

• Manually using the Powershell Add-WindowsFeature command

  In this scenario, the install kit needs to be ran with the "Install Roles and Features" checkbox unchecked during installation.
