Setup improvements
The following improvements have been made to Meridian Enterprise setup:
- The 32-bit BlueCielo IFilter files are now installed with the 64-bit client components. Installation of the IFilter can be completed as described in the BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise Administrator's Guide. Meridian Enterprise now supports Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
- Removing and replacing the Revit link with a Windows Installer package and UAC enabled now works correctly.
- The Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package is no longer required for installing BlueCielo Meridian Enterprise. The Meridian Enterprise client setup programs now include options to install and register the client extensions of the BlueCielo Publisher, the Meridian Global Collaboration Framework, and the Meridian Connection API library. Licenses must be installed for each before they can be used. The Windows Installer packages also support custom installations be specifying the components in the ADDLOCAL argument: PublisherExt, GCFExt, and NETAPI, respectively.
- The Meridian Web Client setup package is now available as a single executable file for both 32-bit and 64-bit computers. On 64-bit computers, it will install both the 32-bit and 64-bit components so that the setup does not need to be run twice. The file can be unpacked by running it with the /a command line parameter to perform an administrative installation that results in an installable .msi file with the specified language transform applied. The .msi file can then be deployed with Active Directory Services. Alternatively, the package can be deployed as described in the following bullet.
- The Meridian Web Client may now be installed from a local server. During Meridian Enterprise installation, the setup wizard now prompts for the location of the Meridian Web Client setup file to copy to the Web Access server. The setup program copies the Meridian Web Client setup file to a subfolder of the Web Access application. Web Access users who do not have the viewer installed can click a link in the Web Access viewer pane to download the setup program.
