Manual installation of ProGet

Our in-house IT will not support a site that requires running an installer on a production server. Is it possible to manually install ProGet as an IIS site using the full SQLServer back-end? Are there step-by-step instructions (or PS scripts) available?

It is possible (and fairly easy), but we do not have instuctions just yet. Hopefully this response will be enough.

It basically follows the same steps as the Manual BuildMaster Installation ( http://inedo.com/support/documentation/buildmaster/installation/manual ), just without the Extensions or Agents.

The hardest part will be getting the artifacts, as we don't have those available for download yet. But it's not so bad.

For the files (WebApp and Service), you can just directly copy out of an existing installation. Just make sure to edit the appropriate appsetting config files when moving to the new server.

For the Database, you can restore a back-up of the existing installation. To upgrade, you can use 7-zip to open the installer, and then copy out bmdbupdate.exe and $_OUTDIR\OBJECTS\SqlScripts.sql. First run bmdbupdate.exe then the .sql scripts.

We will definitely make manual install artifacts avaiable in the future (along with instructions), and we do support this scenario for Enterprise Customers. We'll even help with install through our Professional Services ( http://inedo.com/company/professional-services ).

Hope this helps...
