Windows Installer 4.5 is required to install Equitrac 5.7.
Check Description
Verify that the server machine is the member of a domain.
Ensure that the following hardware requirements are met:
  • 8 GB of physical memory available
  • 5 GB of hard disk space available (including 2 GB dedicated to DWS)
  • The CPU is 4 x 2 GHz or greater
Ensure that you have Microsoft SQL Server 2008/2008 Express SP3 or later installed.
Verify that you have one of the following supported operating systems installed: (IIS requirement (requires ASP.NET) is for the Web Client):

  • Windows Server 2008 (x64 with IIS 7.0 and .NET 4.5)
  • Windows Server 2008 R2 (x64 with IIS 7.5 and .NET 4.5)
  • Windows Server 2012 (x64 with IIS 8.0 and .NET 4.5)
  • Windows Server 2012 R2 (x64 with IIS 8.0 and .NET 4.5)

  • 8443: Each request to the DWS from the MFP uses the DWS address as specified in DRS (TLS connections using port 8443). It is these requests and events from the MFP to DWS that will request the DWS server certificate when completing a TLS handshake. Also used by Web Administration page.
