Use these instructions to install the web components of MarketingPilot. These instructions assume that you have successfully completed the upgrade of the MarketingPilot database, and have installed the .Net 2.0 framework.

1. Check the Web.Config File and Any Other Modifications Made to Files in the MarketingPilot Directory
If you named the MarketingPilot SQL Server database to a new name (i.e. you didn't name the database MarketingPilot), you must update the database name key in the new web.config file for R4.2:

• Open the web.config file located in the Web Server directory with Microsoft Notepad, or any similar simple text editor.

• Find the DatabaseName value and change it from MarketingPilot to the database name you specified.
• Save the web.config file.

Separately, be sure to review any changes you made to files in the MarketingPilot Directory such as html changes, style sheet changes, custom headers and footers, custom reports, etc. be sure to make a copy of these changes so that you can re-implement them in Web Server 4.

2. Install ASP.Net 2.0
Be sure that you have not only installed the .Net 2.0 framework, but also ASP.Net 2.0. Once the .Net 2.0 framework has been installed run this command to install ASP.Net 2.0:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
