Typical Installation

By default, the Windows installer, soss_setup64.msi (or soss_setup32.msi for legacy 32-bit Windows systems), selects the Server component for installation. This installs the StateServer service along with help files, sample programs, management tools, API libraries, and the libraries required for local client access under .NET 2.0 and higher. This installer requires the .NET 2.0 framework or later.

Note

Starting with version 5.0, ScaleOut ScaleOut StateServer no longer supports .NET 1.1.

Note

The ScaleOut GeoServer option and ScaleOut ComputeServer are automatically installed when you install ScaleOut StateServer. Their functions are enabled by a license key from ScaleOut Software that includes support for this option.

By default, ScaleOut StateServer installs into \Program Files\ScaleOut_Software\StateServer.

Optional Remote Client Support

ScaleOut’s Windows installers let you optionally install just the Remote Client Support component of ScaleOut StateServer. The Remote Client Support component installs the libraries required for applications to remotely access ScaleOut StateServer running on a networked computer. It also installs the help files, sample programs, and management tools. To install only the Remote Client Support component, please select this component when prompted by the installation wizard.
