Additional Windows Server 2012 Terminal Server Steps

Systems using a Windows Server 2012 Terminal Server need to perform these additional steps before completing the steps below:

1. Go to Server Manager in Windows Server 2012.
2. Click on Add Roles and features. The Add Roles and Features Wizard is displayed.
3. Click on the "Features" option in the "Select features" section and check the ".Net Framework 3.5 Features" and click "Install".
4. You can now proceed with the setup steps below.

All Systems

1. Log onto the Terminal Server machine locally as an Administrator.
2. Bring up a command prompt.
3. Type the following:

      change user /install

4. This puts the Terminal Server into install mode.
5. Still at the command prompt, change to the folder that contains wksetup.exe and _zfclientrun.exe.
6. Type the following:

      cd prerequisites

      vcredist_x86.exe  (or vcredist_x64 if you are on a 64-bit machine)

7. When the install of the pre-requisites has completed, type the following:

      cd..

      _zfclientrun.exe /V" ALLUSERS=1 /L*v %TEMP%\ZFClientInstall.log"

8. This runs the Zetafax Client Applications installer for all users.
9. If you select the Custom install option, you should see the Zetafax Client, Outlook Integration and Office Addins as available features.  There should be no other components visible.
10. Run through the installer UI as you would normally.
