Configuring NEOSYS on Windows 10

Installing NEOSYS on Windows 10

32 bit Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise (NOT 64 bit) will run and serve NEOSYS fine.

32 bit Windows Home is not fully suitable because it does not have IIS web server. NEOSYS processes will run on Windows 10 Home 32 bit but IIS will have to be configured on another computer with access to the NEOSYS folders via a share. The computer running IIS could be any version of Windows including 64 bit.

1. Use windows search bar to navigate to 'Windows Features'
2. Check 'IIS' & expand 'IIS'
3. Expand 'World Wide Web Services'
4. Expand 'Application Development Features'
5. Check 'ASP'
6. Click OK
