Step 2: Installing the CENTRAL binaries

To install CENTRAL, log on to the server that is hosting the SharePoint web front end as an account that is both a SharePoint Farm Administrator and a local administrator.

NOTE: The install process is in English. You can change the locale after CENTRAL is installed.

1. Run Setup.

   The Winshuttle CENTRAL Solution Wizard appears.

   During the prerequisites check, the Chart controls for .NET 3.51 may be marked as missing, even if the .NET is already installed. To fix this error, a download link should appear during the prerequisite check.

   • Non Site Definition - After installation, the administrator must create the Team site. This feature converts the existing team site to a CENTRAL Site. No Custom Site template is installed.
