SharePoint Installer (v 1.0)
- Almuth Boehme [Communardo]
This is a walkthrough on the installer for the SharePoint features provided by the SharePoint Connector for Confluence.
Uninstall Previous Version
The Beta 0.1 version of the SharePoint Connector for Confluence did not have an installer for SharePoint. If you previously installed this product you should remove the Http Module from web.config that was manually put there in the previous beta release. Note that you do not need to remove any Confluence web parts from pages and you do not need Crowd for this release.
The Beta 0.2 version of the SharePoint Connector for Confluence had a MSI installer. Go to 'Add/Remove Programs' and remove the product. Note that you do not need to remove any Confluence web parts from pages. They should work in subsequent versions of the product.
The Beta 0.3, Beta 0.4, and Beta 0.5 versions of the SharePoint Connector for Confluence as well as all v1.0+ versions use the same installer. When installing you will be prompted to either Upgrade or Uninstall. Either choice is fine, but the Upgrade requires less steps. Note that an uninstall will not delete web parts from SharePoint. They should still exist and work after an upgrade or uninstall/install.
If you want to uninstall the SharePoint Connector for Confluence without upgrading, simply run the Setup_WebParts.exe and Setup_Search.exe executables individually and choose Uninstall. See the Manual Uninstall steps on Manual SharePoint Feature Installation if you have any problems.
Run the Installer
The download files are available from the SharePoint Connector for Confluence Downwload Center. Inside the ZIP you have a folder for the SharePoint Connector which contains a folder for the SharePoint Installer. The SharePoint Installer folder has the physical SharePoint installation files.
In your download you should have two Setup executables:
- Setup_WebParts.exe
- Setup_Search.exe
First run Setup_WebParts.exe then optionally run Setup_Search.exe.
Run on SharePoint Server
The setup executables must be run directly on a server in your SharePoint farm. Do not run them from another machine and do not run them off of a network share.
Warning
Installation causes a restart of each affected web site.
Note
If you have problems using the SharePoint Installer, you can resort to Manual SharePoint Feature Installation.
