This section will guide you through configuring Izenda Reports for use on Microsoft's Internet Information Server (IIS) on Windows. Izenda recommends doing the initial setup on a non-production server.

##How to Install Izenda on Windows 2008 with IIS 7
108 117
118
+**Web Server Setup**
119
+
120
+Prior to starting, please make sure your system meets the following requirements:
121
+
122
+**Requirements:**
123
+
124
+* Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.1 or higher
125
+* ASP.NET (any version)
126
+* SQL Server 2000 - 2012, Oracle 9g or higher, MySQL 5 or higher, OData, Web Services and EAV, a working connection string with proper read permissions to both data and metadata
127
+* Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, Firefox 1.5 or higher, Chrome, or Opera
128
+
129
+**Selecting a language and .NET version:**
130
+
131
+Izenda supports the .NET platform (all versions) for both C# and VB.NET. This is important if any code-level integration is needed. Izenda highly recommends selecting .NET 2.0 and C#. The starter kits referenced above are already configured to use .NET 2.0 and C# or VB.NET respectively.
132
+
133
+**Permissions:**
134
+
135
+In order to create and save reports, your application will require the ability to read and write to the [[Reports folder|http://wiki.izenda.us/FAQ/Storing-Reports#File-System-Mode]] or the [[Stored Reports table|http://wiki.izenda.us/FAQ/Storing-Reports#Database-Mode]] as well as the Izenda.config file. The application runs under the web server's service account. By default, this account is **NT AUTHORITY\NETWORKSERVICE** under Windows 2003 and **ASPNET** under Windows XP. It can be something different if your Administrator has changed it or you are running Microsoft Exchange on the same server. In most cases, it will not have changed.
