By default, when you download the Meridian Cloud Connector installation package, it can be run immediately without any configuration on your part and will connect the client to your Meridian Cloud tenancy automatically. Alternatively, the package can be manually configured to install the components and to connect to an on-premises Meridian Enterprise deployment.
This client is for Internet use only, not for LAN users. If installed, the application links and Application Integration are configured to work in Remote mode only. All communication with the Meridian EDM Server will go through the Meridian web server.
The package requires:
- Windows x64 operating system
- .NET Framework
- SQL Compact or MS Jet are NOT required
The package can be configured by creating or editing the file Meridian Cloud Connector.ini located in the same location as Meridian Cloud Connector.msi. The file should include the settings in the INI Setting Name and Features sections described in the following tables. The package can also be installed from a command line with the parameters listed in the Command Line Parameters column below.
| INI Setting Name | Command Line Parameter | Description |
| N/A | ALLUSERS=2 | Set to 2 to install the client separately for each user of the machine instead of for all users of the machine (default). The ADDLOCAL parameter must only be set to WEBCLIENT and no other features. The MSIINSTALLPERUSER parameter must be set to 1. |
