Launch the DigitalPersona LDS Server - InstallShield Wizard by running Setup.exe, located in the ..\Server\DigitalPersona LDS Server folder in the product package.
The wizard's Welcome page displays. Click Next.
Read the License Agreement page. If you agree with the stated terms, select I accept the license agreement. and click Next.
On the Destination Folder page, accept the default install destination folder, or click Change to install to a different folder. Click Next.
On the Ready to install page, click Install.
The Installing DigitalPersona LDS Server page displays the progress of the installation.

Windows Authorization Access Group for DigitalPersona Server to provide access control, it requires access to authorization information on user account objects.

By default, members of the "Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access" group have access to this data.
- If the “Permissions compatible with pre-Windows 2000 servers" option was selected during the DCPromo process when the domain was created, “Everyone" would have been added to the "Pre-Windows 2000 Compatible Access" group and DigitalPersona Server would be able to access the necessary user authorization information in Active Directory.
- However, if this option was not selected, DigitalPersona Server would not have access to the user authorization information and as result, user enrollment will fail with an "Access Denied" error.
  
  Therefore, the machine account where DigitalPersona Server is running must be added to the Windows Authorization Access Group.
Upon completion of the wizard, the InstallShield Wizard Completed page displays.

Click Finish to close the wizard.

Command Line Options

/qn	(Optional) Hides the user interface when installing the software on the computer, allowing a “silent install.” If used, it is placed at the end of the command line.

Parameters

The following parameters indicate where the software should be installed on the computer, as well as what components should be included or removed:

Parameters	Description

Values	Description
ALL	Installs all DigitalPersona software components and features or removes all of the components and features that are currently installed.

Copy
```
msiexec /i setup.msi    ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=STS,WebAdminConsole
```
