To start the configuration guide, click on the file D2Install.exe in the directory that has been created when creating a new instance.
of the D2000 System
When d2msi starts, it will shown the welcome dialog.
The A structure of the configuration tool is similar to the installer. You may use the "Next" and "Back" buttons when you go through the configuration dialog windows. The "Install" button runs the final configuration.
At first, you have to specify the input configuration file in the initial window. There are two files you may choose - the default configuration file or own file.
The default configuration file D2install.xml contains the default settings of system. This file is used when choosing the option "Default configuration".
The configuration tool enables both the manual and automatic configuration. When you click on "Next" button, the manual configuration will be done. It means, the user is guided through all the necessary dialogs in which he may specify the system settings.
The "Install" button starts the automatic configuration according to chosen configuration. The user cannot change the configuration parameters. There will be used those from the defined configuration file.
A user has three options:
- Use the default configuration (D2install.xml) and manually pass the configuration guide.
- Specify own configuration file and manually pass the configuration guide.
- Specify own configuration file and automatically configure D2000 System without the guide.
When selecting the automatic configuration, all the steps that configure the system are skipped and the final configuration is started (see the section "Final configuration").
All the steps below will be done, when selecting the manual configuration.
Manual configuration
In the installation guide you could chose one of the following types of installation:
License Agreement
...
After the welcome dialog, we are shown the license agreement, before we can proceed to configuration of our installation.
Type of Installation
...
In the next dialog, we can choose what type instance are we going to install.
In the left part, you may choose a type of installation that ensures installing of all necessary elements. Their short description is displayed in the right part.
Configuration
...
...
Each type of installation requires the different system settings. Therefore, the installation guide is different for each installation. The steps of the configuration depend on the type of installation and the marked on checked parameters in the single dialog boxes.
The installation process is depicted on this configuration map.
individual dialogs.
Each rectangle represents one or more configuration dialog dialogs for the setting of system parameters. The configuration proceeds according to the arrows. The upper point represents the start position, i.e. the configuration dialog in which you have to choose a type of installation. The end point endpoint represents a final configuration as per the settings.
Hint: Each step on the map represents a cross-reference which refers to related information in this text.

Requires the setting of connection to the D2000 server. This is either an IP/Computer name or a name of the redundant group. This setting will be used for all configured clients.
4. Creating the shortcuts
...
This dialog box sets the presence and location of links to important D2000 processes. All links that have the "Add link" check box selected will be added to the resulting configuration. The link location setting is applied to all clients that have this parameter checked.
If no parameter is selected under the "Location" or "Add link" section, no link will be added to the computer.

In this dialog window, the user chooses which application will be created. There are three options:
- Demo application – it is a default application that is in the installation pack. In some versions of the installer the option could be disabled if it is not in the installation pack.
