Installing the Station Software on Windows in Graphical User Interface (GUI) Mode on Windows

To find the installer on the assembly media, see Installation, Licensing & Configuration | SIMULIA Installation | GA Assembly Media | Assembly Media Content and Organization.

Go to the directory:

<assembly_media_dir>\SIMULIA_Isight\Windows64\1

Launch the GUI mode installation:
```
setup.exe
```
If necessary, click Allow on the User Account Control dialog to confirm the execution of the installation program.
Click Next to advance through each panel of the installer, responding to the prompts as needed.
1. In the first panel, choose the destination directory into which the software will be installed.
2. In the second panel, select SIMULIA Execution Engine Station as the product you want to install:
```
Isight Desktop
SIMULIA Execution Engine
SIMULIA Execution Engine Station
```
  You can choose any combination of these components to install on different computers and servers. For more information about the SIMULIA Execution Engine, see Installation, Licensing & Configuration | SEE Configuration - TomEE and Derby/Oracle/MSSQL and SIMULIA Execution Engine Configuration Guide: WebSphere and Oracle.
If you want to create a connection profile (.cpr) file to connect the SIMULIA Execution Engine Station to a SIMULIA Execution Engine server during installation, select the appropriate application server and click Next to enter the server host name and port number.
- Server Host Name. The host name of the computer running the SIMULIA Execution Engine server application.
  
  Note: If the SIMULIA Execution Engine will be accessed from computers in multiple network domains (for example, domain1.xxx.com and domain2.xxx.com), you must specify the fully qualified host name (for example, host.domain1.xxx.com).
- Server Port Number
The Station application will connect to SIMULIA Execution Engine, so it must have a connection profile specific to the application server being used. The .cpr file must be located in the following directory:
```
<isight_install_dir>/config/
```
Additional connection profiles can be created later by using the Edit Logon Profile tool. See Creating a SIMULIA Execution Engine Connection Profile for more details.
Select the type of license server software you will use, or skip the licensing selection for now:
```
Dassault Systemes License Server
FLEXnet License Server
Skip this for now
```
If you or your system administrator already have the FLEXnet or Dassault Systèmes license server installed and running, specify the server computer's host name and port number. This information is used to contact the license server and create a licensing client file that references the server. If you have installed a redundant license server triad, enter the host name and port for all three machines.
Verify the information on the Summary panel that corresponds to the entries made earlier, and modify the information, if necessary.
Click Install to allow the installer to complete installation of SIMULIA Execution Engine Station.
Click Close to exit the installer.

After the installer completes, you can edit the values in the station.properties file to customize the behavior of the station. For more information, see Configuring SIMULIA Execution Engine Station Properties.

The station.properties file is installed into the \config\ subdirectory:

<station_install_dir>\config\

In particular, you should decide whether you want to change the following properties:

Station Affinities. Any affinity setting in addition to the default of the station name and the platform. For more information on affinities, see About Station Affinities.
Default log level. The default setting is Info. For more information on these settings, see About Log Message Detail Levels.

Temp directory. The default is the current user’s temporary directory. If you want to change this setting, select a directory that has the following characteristics:

Is not a temporary file system. This disk space must never be reclaimed automatically. This rules out any directories that are cleared during a restart or during an automatic disk space cleanup.
Preferably on a local disk on the station host system. If there is insufficient local storage space, a NAS device can be used; however, this setup is not recommended.

Important: You must change this setting if you plan on using the SIMULIA Execution Engine station security (Run-As) feature. You must use a directory that can be accessed by all users (for example, c:\temp). For more information on Run-As specifications, including how to change the station temporary directory after an installation, see About File System Security With Run-As. For more information on determining or changing directory permissions, contact your local system administrator.
