Install the Web Service Configuration Tool

The Web Service Connector and default projects are available from the Microsoft Download Center.

The Web Service Connector MSI exposes two features:

• Web Service Connector Runtime: Installs the core Connector, the Connector dependencies, and the packaged Connector.
• Web Service Configuration Tool: Installs the Web Service Configuration Tool.

The configuration tool can be installed without having the Synchronization Service installed. This allows configuration on a separate computer.

Default Projects

Additional default projects are shipped with the Web Services Connector. These are available as self-extract EXE files. You may download web service Connector project as appropriate to your requirement.

After the installation is complete, the different components with their binaries are installed at below folder location on your system.
