Some tips to run Exact Synergy as well as Exact Synergy Enterprise on a Vista machine

Posted on 08. Sep, 2009 by Ronald Voets in Exact Synergy

On my Windows Vista machine I run Exact Synergy Enterprise locally. Today I tried to install Exact Synergy (ASP version) on the same machine as well. It was only with the help from some development colleagues and extensive analysis, that we got this working. Here’s 3 topics that ‘did the trick’.

1.       When you start the Productupdater to download the Synergy targets to your local machine, make sure to start it with the parameter /Nocheck=1. So i.e. Start>>Run>> “C:\Users\voet1108\Desktop\SynergyProductUpdater.exe” /nocheck=1

Fill in a different virtual directory for your Synergy installation. I used SynergyASP as virtual directory name

2.       Go to control panel>>programs and features>>Turn Windows features on or off. Now make sure you enable “ASP” in the following path:

3.       Go to Administrative tools>>IIS

4.       Click on ASP and enable parent paths

Good luck!
