The server should be a 2003 or later, either 32- or 64-bit. It may also be an ordinary workstation, XP or later, but this is not a recommended setup for “real” use.

1)    Make sure Internet Information Server ( IIS ) is installed. If not, install it through the ”Program and Features”  applet in the control panel. Section “Turn Windows features on or off”- Make sure to install “IIS 6 Management Compatibility Role Service”

2)    Install the .NET framework 4 full version. (If there is a client version previously installed, this must be removed first)

3)    If the .NET framework was installed before the IIS you must manually register its use in the IIS;
Run “aspnet_regiis.exe –i” for both the 32- and 64-bits versions of IIS. It is found in the directories;
%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\framework64\v4.0.30319 och %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\framework\v4.0.30319.

4)    Create a “Application pool” for Aiolos use, name it “AiolosAppPool”. Configure it to use framework 4 and set Managed pipline mode=Classic, and through advanced settings “Enable 32-bit application = true” and “Identity = Local system”. See Picture A

5)    On top level (localhost) in IIS Manager under “ISAPI and CGI restrictions” you should set “Allow” on the framework 4 parts. See Picture B.

6)    Install Aiolos Forecast Studio Server and select the correct Application pool. If you jumped the gun and installed Aiolos before creating the Application pool, correct it now by selecting the Application pool through the “Basic setting” tab on the newly created virtual directory (default named “NewAiolosService”
