Installing from the Web Install Page

Users can install the client program from the web install page if you installed the OfficeScan server to a computer running the following platforms:

Windows Server 2003 with Internet Information Server (IIS) 6.0 or Apache 2.0.x
Windows Server 2008 with Internet Information Server (IIS) 7.0
Windows Server 2008 R2 with Internet Information Server (IIS) 7.5

To install from the web install page, you need the following:

Internet Explorer with the security level set to allow ActiveX™ controls. The required versions are as follows:
6.0 on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003
7.0 on Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008
8.0 on Windows 7
Administrator privileges on the computer

Send the following instructions to users to install the OfficeScan client from the web install page. To send a client installation notification through email, see Initiating Browser-based Installation.

To install from the web install page:

Log on to the computer using a built-in administrator account.

For Windows 7 platforms, you have to enable the built-in administrator account first. Windows 7 disables the built-in administrator account by default. For more information, refer to the Microsoft support site (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd744293%28WS.10%29.aspx).

If installing to a computer running Windows XP, Vista, Server 2008, or 7, perform the following steps:

Launch Internet Explorer and add the OfficeScan server URL (such as https://<OfficeScan server name>:4343/officescan) to the list of trusted sites. In Windows XP Home, access the list by going to Tools > Internet Options > Security tab, selecting the Trusted Sites icon, and clicking Sites.
Modify the Internet Explorer security setting to enable Automatic prompting for ActiveX controls. On Windows XP, go to Tools > Internet Options > Security tab, and click Custom level.

Open an Internet Explorer window and type one of the following:

OfficeScan server with SSL:

https://<OfficeScan server name>:<port>/officescan

OfficeScan server without SSL:

http://<OfficeScan server name>:<port>/officescan

Click the link on the logon page.
In the new screen that displays, click Install Now to start installing the OfficeScan client. The client installation starts. Allow ActiveX control installation when prompted. The OfficeScan client icon appears in the Windows system tray after installation.

For a list of icons that display on the system tray, see Client Icons.
