Regular release installation

The following two methods could be used to perform a regular release installation of SigningHub:


Regular release installation via SigningHub installer

Follow these instructions to install SigningHub's regular release. Before starting the installation, ensure that you have backed up the SigningHub database and stopped IIS, the application, and its associated application pool for the relevant sites.

Launch the installer by right-clicking the file name [SigningHub Regular Release Installation Directory]/setup/install.bat and select Run as administrator. Follow the installation wizard as described below:

The Welcome screen will appear:

The Installation Type screen will appear. Select the option shown below:

Click the Next button to show the License Agreement:

Click the I Agree button to proceed to the Read Me:

Click the Next button to provide the existing SigningHub directory addresses:

Click the Browse button against the existing SigningHub installation directory, and the backup SigningHub directory to browse to the addresses for the respective directories:

(By default, when the existing SigningHub installation directory address is selected, the installer will automatically create a backup SigningHub folder and select it as the backup directory. However, if the user wants to change the backup directory, they can click "Browse" and manually select the backup directory.)

  2. Only the "runtime" tag within your existing web.config file will be auto-replaced with the "runtime" tag in your regular release's web.config file, if there is any new change in the "runtime" tag.

  3. SigningHub supports direct upgrades from v8.6.x to v10.0.3. Customers upgrading from v8.6.x must review all intermediate and target release notes.


Regular release installation via XML

Silent installation via XML refers to a method of installing SigningHub silently or without user interaction using an XML file as a configuration or parameter file. In this approach, the installer reads instructions from an XML file to perform the installation without requiring any user input. Given below is a list of parameters to be configured for carrying out a regular release installation via XML.
