Custom Installation of Import Manager

During installation you can select the Custom mode instead of the Complete mode. This option installs only the selected components. Custom mode allows users to choose which program features to install and where to install them. It is recommended for advanced users.

Doing a custom installation also allows you to select a different install directory for Import Manager components. Typically you would only need to do this if you have a large amount of import data and at least one additional physical disk to place the compression directory on for system performance purposes.

  1. Download the installer from the GFI OneConnect administration console. For more information refer to Downloads page.
  2. Right-click the GFI OneConnect installer and choose Properties. From the General tab, click Unblock and then Apply. This step is required to prevent the operating system from blocking certain actions by the installer.
  3. Launch the installation wizard.
