  1. Download the bitBServerInstaller

  2. Execute the bitBServerInstaller.exe

  3. If you are an administrator on the local system, you will be prompted to allow the application to make changes to the local system.

  4. If you are not an administrator on the local system, you will receive the same prompt, but you will need to enter administrator credentials to continue.

  5. The Installer will start and display the End-User License Agreement dialog.

  6. The setup wizard collects information about the system.

  7. The Prerequisites dialog is shown. The bitB Server setup can use a local or remote SQL Server installation. The default is to install SQL Server 2017 Express if there is no local SQL Server. You can uncheck SQL Server Express 2017 if you are using a remote SQL Server installation. Note: Uncheck Visual C++ Redistribute. That is no longer needed for bitB Server.

  8. Click Next at the Welcome to the bitB Server Setup Wizard

  9. Local Server is the default selection. You Can select Network Server to use a remote SQL Server installation.

  10. Click Install to begin the installation.

  11. bitB Installer configures Windows features to support the bitB Server

  12. bitB Installs and Configures Internet Information Services (IIS). A bitB API Website is created. The bitB Client will connect to the bitB API server using a secure connection on TCP Port 443.

  13. If the bitB Server installation is successful, you will see the Completing the bitB Server Setup Wizard dialog with an option to show the log. The log is not important if the installation was successful.

  14. Now that the bitB Server install was successful, you will need to initialize the bitB API Server. Open the Start menu and select Server Manager.

  15. When IIS Manager is ready to run you will see IIS show under All Servers.

  16. IIS now appears in Server Manager

  17. Open the Tools menu and select Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager

  18. Once IIS Manager opens, expand the server to show the bitBAPI site. Now select the Browse 443 (https) option to open an Internet Explorer session to the bitBAPI website.

  19. The bitB Server uses a locally signed certificate. When IE opens, select Go on to the webpage (not recommended)

  21. If the bitB Service has started properly and the website is up and running, you will see the API Running message.

  22. Now you can install the bitB Client’s to connect to the bitB Server.
