Installing - Service adjustments
Sorry, neatComponents cannot install without ...
During the installation process neatComponents will check that various Windows services and attributes are enabled.
The installer will generally make the necessary adjustments automatically.
If the installer does require you to take action you will see a dialog similar to this image. The dialog box and the actual list will look slightly different depending on which operating system you are using.
See this typical example below.
Windows 7 & 8 and Server 2008 & 2012 use different terms:
Windows 7 & 8 calls these
Internet Information Services 'Features'
Server W2008 & W2012 calls these
Web Server 'Role Services'
