The following procedure describes how to install the unified IDOL Server setup on the Microsoft Windows operating system platform.

To install unified IDOL Server

1. Double-click the appropriate installer package:

       IDOLServer_VersionNumber_Platform.exe

   where:

   `VersionNumber` | is the version of the installer.
   `Platform` | is your software platform.

   The Setup dialog box opens.

   The License Agreement dialog box opens.

3. Read the license agreement. Select I accept the agreement, and then click Next.

   The Installation Directory dialog box opens.

   The Installation Mode dialog box opens.

5. Select Unified, and then click Next.

   The Service Name dialog box opens.

6. Type the name to use for the IDOL Server Windows service and then click Next. By default, the system installs the service `OpenText-IDOLServer`.

## Windows Services

When you install a unified IDOL Server, the installer automatically installs Windows Services for the License Server and the IDOL Proxy component (which automatically starts up other IDOL components when it starts). You can use these Windows Services to easily start and stop your IDOL Server while you test configurations.

You can also manually install components as Windows Services. See Install an IDOL Component as a Service on Windows.
