Install Director Server Without Switchover

Use the Interaction Director Server Setup wizard to install Director server as a stand-alone server without switchover redundance. The installation includes Director components, Interaction Administrator, and Interaction Designer. It creates a share on the Director server that contains an install for Interaction Administrator and Interaction Designer. This share makes it easy for handler designers and system administrators to install those programs on client computers. If you require switchover, see Install Primary Director Server in a Switchover Pair and Install Secondary Director Server in a Switchover Pair.

  1. Run Director.msi. The Welcome page of the Interaction Director Server Setup wizard appears.
