3 Best practice

  • Follow the four parts in order. The installer relies on the application pool account and, if you use ConfigMgr, on the permissions set up before it.
  • Run the installer on the web server with an account that has administrative permissions on that server and full access to the SoftwareCentral database.
  • Configure before use. SoftwareCentral needs to be configured after the installer has finished, before anyone uses it.
