I have downloaded V7 (PlanetPress Suite 7 Setup.exe) and want to install PlanetPress Search ONLY on a few client machines.

However, it will not install unless MS.NET Framewrok 2.0 and MS WSE3.0 is installed.

Why is this required for PPSearch? If it is NOT required, is there another installation pacakage for Search?

Hello Diane,
As a convenience for most of our users who do install the Design and Workflow tools we have this "prerequisite" system that enables you to easily install all the Windows components necessary for our product to work. Sadly this system (from InstallShield) is not very flexible and needs to be done before the actual Setup of our product take place. This means we cannot propose less items if the user will only want to install PP Search (which requires none of these).

What you can do to work around this system would be to unplug your computer from the network, start the installer, it will not be able to find the prerequisites on the Internet and thus will propose you to continue even though it didn't find them. Simply select to continue, make sure you only select PP Search and complete the installation.

Also make sure Acrobat Reader or the Acrobat software is installed before you install PP Search.

Let us know how it goes.

Best regards,

Thanks for the reply and suggested solution.

However, that will be an unacceptable solution for my larger clients that require search to be installed on 35+ client machines. These installs will be accomplished via remote desktop - so "unplugging" from the network is just not possible.

Can OL create a simple PPSearch install package?

Hello,
I suggest you contact your OL representative to discuss this request.
