Installing Microsoft Search Server 2010 during the Installation or Upgrade of Ektron

Ektron Best Practice In general, do not install Microsoft Search Server 2010 on a server that also hosts Ektron. Only install both programs on the same server in a development environment.

Ektron's installation/upgrade checks to see if Microsoft Search Server 2010 is installed on the server. If it is not, the installation/upgrade checks your server against the Search Server requirements. If your server meets the requirements, the installation (with your approval) downloads and installs the Express version of Microsoft Search Server 2010. This procedure is described in Search Server Not Installed, and this Server's OS Meets Search Server Requirements.

NOTE: If you want to install the full version of Microsoft Search Server 2010, do not install EktronSearchConfiguration.exe (the Express version) when prompted to do so. When the Ektron installation is complete, install the full version. See Also: Which Search Server product is right for you?
