Manual Installation

Some components of Flow require more than just copying the program file and then running it. Flow.exe is as simple as moving to another location and double clicking the executable, however components like FlowService require that they are registered first.

Refer to See "Planning the installation" for important considerations regarding the installation of Flow

In cases where you need to relocate or reinstall these components, the following pages will assist you in correctly installing them

To complete the installation of these components you may need to use either the See "Services Control Panel" or the See "IIS Manager".

Be careful when upgrading components that you have installed or relocated manually.  For instance FlowWeb may have additional files added to its folder after the installation/relocation. When you upgrade it do not simply delete and re-copy the files from the source folder. You will need to retain the additional files
