Windows Server AppFabric Setup Wizard

The AppFabric Setup Wizard enables you to install AppFabric hosting and caching features: Hosting Services, Caching Services, Cache Client, Hosting Administration, and Cache Administration. The setup wizard only installs and registers the AppFabric features. AppFabric provides a separate wizard for configuration, which gives you flexibility in setting up your system. You can choose to enter the configuration wizard immediately after the setup wizard has finished, or you can enter the configuration wizard at a later point. Both the setup and configuration wizards are available from the Start menu, so you can set up or configure components after initial installation.

The AppFabric Setup Wizard is invoked from the AppFabric setup program for the initial setup. After initial setup, you can execute the setup wizard by clicking Start, All Programs, Windows Server AppFabric, and then Add or remove Features. You can then use the setup wizard to add one or more features, or to remove one or more features (or the entire product).

The setup wizard performs platform validation to prevent installing the product in an unsupported state. The wizard indicates any prerequisite that must be installed, and provides information about how to install it.

For more information about the setup process, see the AppFabric Installation Guide.
