How to install:

IMPORTANT: Do not install ACI Manager (ACIServerSetup.exe or Setup.exe) on multiple computers. You should install it on where you want to manage your users from. Installing ACI Manager more than once will prevent ACI Client from finding the correct ACI Manager software. 

Windows XP Firewall: If you are installing ACI Manager on Windows XP SP2, make sure that either you turn the firewall off, or add 2 exceptions, one for TCP Port 9400, and the other for UDP Port 9400. If you have a similar firewall software, you must add these exception, if not, you will not be able to see any ACI Clients.

Installing ACI Manager:

• You need an administrator privilege in order to install ACI Manager on Windows NT4/2000/XP, if you don't, the setup program will show an error message and exits.
• Run Setup.exe or ACIServerSetup.exe depending on where you downloaded the software from.
• Follow the instructions on the screen.

ACI Manager installation notes:

• ACI Manager should be installed on where you want to manage the users from.
• It's not necessary to install ACI Manager on the same computer as the database server, but you can. ACI does not logon to your database server at all. Users' activities are collected at the client end using ACI Client.

Installing ACI Client:

• You need to an administrator privilege or Power User in order to install ACI Client on Windows NT4/2000/XP, if you don't, the setup program will show an error message and exits.
• Run Setup.exe or ACIClientSetup.exe depending on where you downloaded the software from.
• Follow the instructions on the screen.

Starting June 16, 2005, in all versions of Windows, ACI Client checks whether it was installed before, and exits the installation if it was installed previously(This includes older installations before this update). This is done for the convenience of network administrators who want to put the setup program in a logon script so it would be installed when the user logs in. The user will not see any dialogs or windows when the parameters shown below are used.

You need at least to be a member of the Power Users group to install ACI Client on Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003. However, a member of the local Administrators group is preferred. If the user is not a member of either group, it will exits without installing the software.

If there is a DLL file that needs updating that is in use at the time of installation, setup will succeed if the user is an administrator, but will fail and rollback the installation if the user is a power user. But since ACI uses as few DLL's as possible, the installation will most likely succeed. In addition to that, these DLL's are dated prior to 2001, so updating DLL's are less likely to occur, and you don't have to be a member of the administrator group in order to install ACI Client successfully.

ACI Client installation notes:

• In Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003, you will need to have an administrator or power user privilege in order to install ACI Client, if you don't an error message will be shown and the setup will exit.
• When installing ACI Client, you don't have to install it more than once on the same computer. It will be installed for all users on the same computer. This includes Windows Terminal Servers.
• It's possible to install ACI Client and Manager on the same computer, such as for testing(Recommened).
• There is no need to specify the server IP to the client. The client can automatically detect the server(ACI Manager) via broadcast packets.
• When the client is behind a router/firewall from the server(ACI Manager) or on the Internet side, you need to specify ACI Manager IP address and port number in ACI Client's CCONFIG.INI file. This file is located in the folder where you installed ACI Client in. Change both ServerIPOverride and ServerIPPortOverride to represent those of the server. The default TCP/IP port for the server is 9400.

Installing ACI Client Silently:

To install ACI client silently, use the following command:

ACIClientSetup.exe /sp- /verysilent /suppressmsgboxes /norestart

When you use this method, no windows will be displayed to the user nor error messages. ACI does not require a restart normally, even if a restart is required, it can function without it. Setup will run ACI Client after it finishes the installation automatically. If you remove /norestart option above, the computer will restart if a restart is required without asking the user.
