  2. The installer verifies that the objects in the setup program's Bin folder matches the objects in your Aptify system, which is one requirement to ensure a successful installation. If the installer detects that there is an object mismatch, it automatically synchronizes its Bin folder with the objects from your Aptify database. In that case, you will see a dialog that displays the progress of the synchronization process. When prompted, close the setup program and relaunch it to start over using the updated objects.
    • However, in some cases, objects may already be in use by the installer so they cannot be overwritten. If this occurs, you will see a message like the one shown below:

    • LMS User Name: Specify the name of a trusted user account that will run the e-Business piece of Aptify LMS (this user will run an AptifyLMS application pool in IIS).

      • Courses).
      • The installer automatically converts these folders to web applications, so at least initially you should install them in a location where they can act as their own application and not add them to an existing application (like the e-Business web site). For example, if you provide a Web Services Directory path of C:\Inetpub\wwwroot, the installer will create these applications inside the server's Default Web Site.
      • The installer adds the required permissions for the LMS User to those folders. Therefore, the user who is currently logged into the web server and the LMS User specified above must have Modify permissions to the target folder prior to running the installer.
