In the event that you have not checked **custom installation** or, if you did, you have selected the component **Core. Prerequisites** in the **Step 3**, you will be asked to install the *Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable packages*, needed for the installation and configuration of the Editran Core module. ![Installation of the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable packages](https://1190478111-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FzO0mk2eo5LONjICfqrP8%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2dbe347cf0e90626c57be3658d901c5d596565eb%2Finstalacion_paquetes_redistribuibles.png?alt=media) * Accept the license terms and click **Install to continue**, or **Close** if you do not want to install them. * Wait for the installation of the redistributable packages to finish and then click **Close** to continue with the installation of Editran Connect. 4. Likewise, if you have checked **custom installation** and selected the component **Graphical interface. Prerequisites** in the **Step 3**, the *Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable packages* needed for the proper functioning of the graphical interface will be installed. The installation process is identical to that described in the previous point. 5. If the services do not start correctly, a warning message will appear. See the section *Troubleshooting* to identify the cause. Wait for the process to finish. *** ## Step 11: Installation completed Once the installation is complete, a screen will be shown indicating that the process has finished ![Installation completed](https://gitlab.devops.onesait.com/onesait/disruptors/ecosystems-editran/editran-documentation/-/blob/public/connect/3.1/instalacion/broken-reference) Click on **Finish**. **Done!** You now have the **Editran Connect** application installed on your system. Shortcuts will be created in the start menu and on the desktop to access the application. *** ## Troubleshooting #### 1. Errors during installation If you encounter any errors during the installation process, check the following points: * **Disk space**: Make sure there is enough available space for installation. * **System compatibility**: Verify that your operating system and processor are compatible. * **Administrator permissions**: Run the installer with administrator privileges. * **Antivirus or firewall**: Check that your antivirus or firewall is not blocking the installation. If necessary, temporarily disable them during the process. For more information about the error, check the installation log file (log). #### 2. The services do not start If the installation was successful, but the services do not start, check the following: * **User permissions**: Check that the user starting the services has the necessary permissions. * **Dependencies**: Make sure all required services are running. For example, the service *Editran Connect Data* must be started before starting the service *Editran Connect Base*. * **Port in use**: Confirm that port 443 *(Editran Connect Server)* or 5432 *(Editran Connect Data)* is not being used by another service. You can use tools such as `netstat` to check the ports in use. * **Firewall**: Check that Windows Firewall or any other third-party firewall is not blocking the ports used by the services. * **Database configuration**: Check that the database is correctly configured and accessible. Make sure the access credentials are correct and that the database server is running. * **Software dependencies**: Verify that the *Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable packages* are correctly installed. * **Software conflicts**: Make sure there are no other programs or services conflicting with the services of **Editran Connect**. Check that the application **Editran Core Connect** is uninstalled. * **License**: Verify that the license file (`license.dat`) is present and valid. This implies that the services *Editran License Service* and *Editran Connect Base* will not start. * **Local environment**: The service *Editran Connect Base* will not start until a local environment is configured in the *Editran Core*. For more details about possible errors, check the log files. *** ## Log files Below is a table with the different log files, their description, name, and location. | **Description** | **File(s)** | **Location** | | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------- | | Installation log | `installbuilder_installer.log` | `%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp` | | Service startup and status log | `*.out, *log` | `%INSTALL_DIR%\services\logs` | | Database error and event log | `logfile` | `%INSTALL_DIR%\data` | | Application error and event log | `*.log` | `%INSTALL_DIR%\logs` | | Core module error and event log | `*.out, *log` | `%INSTALL_DIR%\core\log` | | License error and event log | `*.log` | `%INSTALL_DIR%\core\bin\SL\log` | *** ## Services Below is a table with the different application services, their description, and the dependencies required to start them. | **Name** | **Description** | **Dependencies to start** | | ----------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------- | | Editran Connect Base | Editran Connect services | Editran Connect Data | | Editran Connect Data | Database service for Editran Connect | | | Editran Connect Server | Web server for Editran Connect | | | Editran Connect Sign | Signature services for Editran Connect | Editran Connect Data | | Editran Base Service | EDITRAN protocol for file transfer | Editran License Service | | Editran License Service | Handles requests from the License V2 API | | *** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
