Run the Prerequisite Installer in offline mode (FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint)

 

Applies to: FAST Search Server 2010

The Prerequisite Installer, by default, downloads components from the Microsoft Download Center to the server on which you are installing FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint. This requires Internet access and Windows Firewall open on port 80.

If the server where you are running the Prerequisite Installer does not have Internet access, you can use the Prerequisite Installer in offline mode.

To install prerequisites using the offline mode, follow these steps:

  1. Manually download each prerequisite applicable to your operating system.

  2. Copy the prerequisites to the server where you will run the Prerequisite Installer.

  3. From a command prompt, run the Prerequisite Installer, and specify each prerequisite as a command-line option.

The following table specifies the relevant command-line options:
