Make sure you are logged onto Windows as an administrator.
Run the Velocity_Installer_3.8.34(build-3.8.34.3284).exe file for the Velocity 3.8.3 4 installation:
If you have a Velocity 3.8.3 4 installation DVD, insert it into your DVD drive, and the auto-start feature should automatically start the Velocity Installer.
If you downloaded the files to install Velocity 3.8.34, use Windows Explorer to navigate to the folder containing those files, and double-click on Velocity_Installer_3.8.34(build-3.8.34.3284).exe.
After the Velocity Installer’s Welcome (or splash) screen appears, click Next.
On the resulting End-User License Agreement page, select the “I agree to the terms in the License Agreement” option, and click Next.
In the Install Options screen, select the Server option and either accept the currently displayed SQL server or select a different one, then click Next.
Note: If the SQL Server Browser service is not running, a dialog is displayed which enables you to remedy the problem.
At the resulting Web Services Options screen, select whether or not to also install the optional Velocity Web Services Client (which supersede the previous Velocity Web Console), then click Next.
Before you can install and use the Velocity Web Services Client, you must first install Microsoft’s Internet Information Services (IIS). Refer to Installing Velocity Web Services Client for more information.
At the resulting Application Network and Security screen, the Velocity Installer detects whether this computer is a member of an Active Directory domain or is a local server, and selects the correct authentication option:
If the Local machine accounts option is selected, go to Step 8.
If the Active Directory option is selected, select the domain or organization unit (OU) whose accounts Velocity can use.
You can select the Advanced Authentication option to designate that instead of using Velocity’s default user groups and user names for authentication, you will be using custom ones. (Some government agencies are required to do this, as an additional security measure.) Before selecting this option, be sure to read the “Custom Active Directory User & Group Names Setup” section of the Velocity Installation Guide.
Enter a password in the first 'Password' field and repeat it in the first 'Confirm' field.
Unless you require a different SQL Server password, accept the [Default] password in the second 'Password' and 'Confirm' fields.
If you change this password, all Velocity clients connecting to this server must have the same password to access the Velocity database.The Velocity Installer detects whether this computer has multiple network interface cards:
If there is only one network interface card, go to Step 11.
If there are multiple network interface cards, select the network you will use from the 'Device Network' drop-down list.
Click Next.
At the resulting System Inspection screen, click Next.
At the resulting SQL Server Options screen, the Velocity Installer detects whether there are any existing instances of SQL Server, and displays the available options. Select the SQL Server option you require, then click Next.
If the Velocity Installer detects that a licensed edition of a supported version (2019 or previous) of Microsoft's SQL Server already exists on this computer, you can select the "Create a named instance using the existing SQL server" option. Go to Step 15.
If you want Velocity to install the free SQL Server 2019 Express edition, confirm the default “Install an Identiv named instance of SQL Express on this computer” option.
At the Database Installation (Location) screen, specify the location where the database will be installed, then click Next.
At the resulting Application Installation (Location) screen, either accept the default location where Velocity will be installed or specify a different location, then click Next.
The Prerequisite Gathering screen appears. After a few minutes, the Prerequisite Gathering Complete screen appears.
At the Prerequisite Gathering Complete screen, review the displayed information about the various program components that either will be installed or are already installed, then click Next.
The Installing Prerequisites screen appears intermittently throughout the installation process, indicating when another stage of the installation process is complete. Follow the onscreen prompts.
If you choose (at the Web Services Options screen) to install the optional Velocity Web Services Client, it is installed now.
On the Velocity Web Services Client Installation screens: ensure all the prerequisites are met and click Next; enter the necessary service account information and port number and click Next.
After all the prerequisites are installed, the Application Installation (Progress) screen appears.When the installation of Velocity is completed and the Installation Complete screen appears, select the desired closing options, then click Close.
Make sure that the SQL Server Browser service is running on the Velocity Data server, so the Velocity Client installations can locate the SQL Server for Velocity's database.
If you encounter problems discovering or connecting to SQL server during client installation refer to the Troubleshooting section.
The installation of a Velocity Server is now complete, so you can start the Velocity installation again on other computers which will be the Velocity clients. Make sure that you login to those computers as a Velocity Operator who belongs to the Administrator role and who also has Local Administrator privileges.
