Before installing any Office Developer components, verify that the configuration and software prerequisites are satisfied. There are three installations to review:
If you are using the Windows 2000 or Windows 95/98 operating systems, see Special Considerations When Using Windows 2000 and Special Considerations When Using Windows 95/98.
For additional installation and setup information, see the Readme files on the Microsoft Office Developer CD-ROM before installing any software or components.
The Access Workflow Designer server components can be installed on a server when the following conditions are met.
Although NTFS is not required, it is recommended if you plan to take full advantage of security features. For more information, see Security Permissions Model in the Access Workflow Designer Developer's Guide.
Note Previous versions of MSDN Universal contain a version of Windows NT 4.0 Server that installs in per server mode only. This mode impacts SQL Server and interferes with the offline replication features of Access Workflow Designer. The per server setting can be changed to per seat using the License Manager tool available in Windows NT 4.0 from the Administrative Tools program group.
Note To use e-mail integration in your solutions, the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service must be installed, and you must have an SMTP Smart Host.
Note If Microsoft Exchange Server is being used, the Exchange Server Internet Mail Service must be enabled.
Note The service pack must be installed after the Windows NT Option Pack. If the service pack is already on your computer, you must reinstall the service pack after installing Windows NT Option Pack.
Important Access Workflow Designer does not work with the minimal installation of SQL Server.
Note Review the SQL Server 7.0 Service Pack 1 Readme to ensure any existing publications and subscriptions will continue to work after the upgrade.
Note Office 2000 has a new installation program. Many objects are set to install on first use. If you use a custom installation, these options are marked with a yellow 1. If you want to install options during setup, click the option, and select Run from my computer.
After prerequisites are satisfied, install the Access Workflow Designer server components. For details, see Setting Up the Server.
To develop team solutions, you do not have to work directly on the production server. You can install the Access Workflow Designer development tools on any computer that has access to the server, or you can use the Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) locally to emulate a server environment.

For more information about the Office Web Components, see Setting Up Office Web Components on the Server.
For details about installing the client components, see Setting Up the End-User Client Computer.
