Installing the client components

To install Meridian on a client computer with the Windows Installer Package, see Controlling Windows Installer packages.

To install Meridian on a client computer with the 32-bit executable setup program:

1. Begin the installation as described in Starting Meridian installation.
2. On the Select Components page, select one of the following options depending on the required client components:

• LAN Client Setup. Choose this option to install all the client components including CAD application links.
• Office Web Client Setup. Choose this option to install only the viewer components necessary for use with Web Access. To configure Web Access to download the Office Web Client components for additional installations at a different location, see Customizing the Office Web Client download location.
  
  Note    Do not install the Office Web Client alone on a computer that already has a Meridian client installed that includes Office Web Client. This can lead to DLL version mismatches and incorrect functioning of the Office Web Client.
  
• Power Web Client Setup. Choose this option to install the viewer components necessary for use with Web Access plus the remote CAD application links.

Note    It is not possible to install a combination of 32-bit and 64-bit application links on the same computer, for example, the 32-bit Microsoft Office link and a 64-bit CAD link. All applications on the same computer that will use Meridian links must be the same bit width.

3. Specify the destination for the selected program files. Usually the default folder is adequate. If you want to place most of Meridian’s files on a non-system partition, click Browse and type the desired path or select an existing folder. Click Next to continue. The Choose Computer page appears.
4. Type the name of the Meridian application server or click Browse and select the computer. Click Next to continue.
5. Complete installation as described in Finishing up installation.
