Creating and Installing EZ Gateway

This section explains how to create and install the EZ Gateway installer.

  1. The following files are needed to create the EZGatewayDevelopment.Installer.msi installation package. Copy all files from the EZGateway\InstallTransformKit folder to a server to produce the installation package which will need to be executed on each application server.
    • Run.bat
    • Transform.xml
    • MsiTransform.exe
    • WoltersKluwerFS.EZGateway.Installer.msi
  2. Locate and run the Run.bat file. This will create an installation executable named EZGatewayDevelopment.Installer.msi using the default installer package (WoltersKluwerFS.EZGateway.Installer.msi) and properties specified in the Transform.xml file.
    Note: If property values are set to null in the transform.xml, you will see Failed Transformations message indicating those properties will not have a value in the installation.
  3. Copy the EZGatewayDevelopment.Installer.msi installer to the application server. From the EZGateway application server, run the EZGatewayDevelopment.Installer.msi from a command prompt as an administrator.
Note: The install script includes an optional parameter, forceInstall, that if set to true, removes and recreates the Windows service that runs the application and avoids the need to reboot the server during installation. The default for this parameter is false. When set to true, the script stops the existing services, updates the application files, and then restarts the existing service (which then runs the updated version of the EZ Service). If rebooting the server if the service cannot be uninstalled properly is not desirable for your organization, set this parameter to true to prevent the need to reboot the server.
