Installing iManager and eGuide Program Files

iManager and eGuide program files will be installed on your Web server. If you don't have a Web server set up already, the installation program will install Apache and Tomcat as well as iManager and eGuide. Use the Web Applications CD to install iManager and eGuide program files.
