IMPORTANT: The Select the features you want to install screen lets you specify which features you want to install on the Meridium APM Web Framework Server machine after the older version is uninstalled. Theseinstructions assume that you want to deploy only the Meridium APM Web Framework software, a supporting instance of the Application Server, and the Configuration Manager (for the purposes of uploading custom translations to the supporting instance of the Application Server). When the Meridium APM Web Framework software is installed, the Meridium APM System Administration Tool is installed automatically. When the Meridium APM Application Server software is installed, the following APM Framework applications are also installed automatically: APM Framework, Database Upgrade Manager, Data Source Manager, Schedule Manager, and URL Manager. Corresponding options for these applications are not listed in the tree because these components must be installed with the Meridium APM Application Server software.
In the tree, select the Meridium APM Application Server check box.
The subnodes are selected automatically.
If you want to install the Meridium APM Configuration Manager application, accept the default selection.
-or-
If you do not want to install the Meridium APM Configuration Manager application, clear the Configuration Manager check box. Keep in mind that you can run this installer again and install the Configuration Manager at a later time.

This installer can be used to upgrade the additional components on other machines.
Click the Next button.
A message appears, indicating that the installer is checking your machine for the required prerequisites for the features that you want to install after the older version is uninstalled.
If one or more prerequisites are missing on the machine, the Meridium Installer screen will appear and display a message that indicates which prerequisites still need to be installed on the machine before you can install the feature that is dependent on that prerequisite. This message also indicates what you can do to continue.
If you see this screen, you should read the message in detail, and either click the Back button to clear the selection whose prerequisites are missing, and then continue through the installation without installing that component, or close the installer, install the missing prerequisite, and then run the installer again later.
If all the prerequisites for the selected components are installed on the machine, or you have selected components that do not require any prerequisites, the Select ZIP File Location screen appears.
The Select ZIP File Location screen lets you specify the location where you want the ZIP file of database content to be installed. This ZIP file is used by the Database Comparison Utility.
