Installing the End User Interface

The End User Interface setup does all of the following:

If you have used HP CR End User Interface before, you must keep the deprecated client application and set up files in your system as deleting those files may interfere with the server usage.

  1. Log on to the system where End User Interface is being installed using an account that belongs to the local Administrators group.

  2. Navigate to a network folder containing the setup files and run setup.exe.

TIP:  The End User Interface setup is installed with a complete HP CR server installation in \Program Files\HP\HPCR\Clients\Web. Immediately following the HP CR server installation, only the HP CR service account has permissions to access client setup programs on the HP CR server, but additional users can granted permissions if necessary.

The InstallShield wizard configures your system and shows the Welcome message.

Note:  If Microsoft .NET Framework v4.0 is not installed on your system, the HP CR End User Interface installation kit will direct you to the location from where you can download the package. After you have installed the package, you can proceed with the HP CR End User Interface installation.

  1. Click Next. The setup shows the destination folder.

  2. Change the destination folder if necessary by clicking Change and then following the prompts. Click Next. The setup shows the IIS Virtual Directory name for the End User Interface.

  3. Change the virtual directory name if necessary. The default is WebClient. Click Next.

Note:  The virtual directory name is used to create a virtual directory in IIS under Default Web Site.

The setup prompts you to enter the HP CR server name. If you are installing the client in a system which has the HP CR server running, the name is filled in by default.

  1. Click Next. The setup prompts you to choose the authentication type and enter the authentication server name.

  2. Enter the authentication server name, which is the Active Directory server name.

  3. Click Next. The setup shows the Ready to Install the Program page.

  4. Click Install. The client is installed. The setup indicates when the installation is complete.

  5. To launch the End User Interface, check the box beside the Launch the program option.

  6. Click Finish to close the InstallShield wizard.

When installation is complete, a web browser opens and HP CR End User Interface is launched with a URL of http://webservername/WebClient.

Note:  If you are configured to use a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection, manually configure the End User Interface URL to be https://webservername/WebClient.

Required DCOM permissions when installing on a remote system

When you install HP CR End User Interface on a remote system, you must configure the following DCOM permissions on the HP CR server. Without this configuration, the HP CR server cannot communicate with the remote clients. For DCOM configuration instructions, see Configuring required COM permissions for launching the remote End User Interface.
