Required Third-Party Software

This section explains how to install the required third-party software on the machines in your system.

Tip
You should install the required software before you install SpeechMiner. In addition, you should disable simple file sharing on all machines in your system before you install SpeechMiner.


Installing the .NET Framework

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 (3.5.1) must be installed on all machines that will run SpeechMiner components or interact with SpeechMiner. You can download the installation package at http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe.

If you are installing the .NET Framework on machines that are running Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012, do not download this installation package, because it is included with these operating systems. On these operating systems, you can install the framework using the Add Features option in the Server Manager (Start > Administrative Tools > Server Manager). For information about installing .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2027770. For information about installing .NET Framework 3.5.1 on Windows Server 2012, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/hh975396.

Installing Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

The following Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable's must be installed on all machines that will run SpeechMiner components or interact with SpeechMiner.

Important
When installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable you must install both x86 and x64 versions. When installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable you only need to install the x86 version.

Setting Up the SQL Server

Before you begin installing SpeechMiner, you must install the SQL server on the database server. You can use either Microsoft SQL Server 2008 with Reporting Services or Microsoft SQL Server 2012 with Reporting Services.

For information about installing and configuring the SQL Server for SpeechMiner, see Setting Up the SQL Server for SpeechMiner.

Installing IIS on the Web Server or Interaction Receiver Server

The Internet Information Server (IIS) must be installed and operational on the servers that will be used to run the SpeechMiner Web and the Interaction Receiver. You can install and configure:

Notes:

  • The SpeechMiner and Interaction Receiver Application Pool must use .NET framework version 2.0. After you install the SpeechMiner web server, you should check that this is the version in use.
  • It is recommended to enable HTTP Compression on the IIS server. For additional information, see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771003(v=ws.10).aspx.

Installing Report Viewer

SpeechMiner can be configured to use Microsoft's Report Viewer to run saved reports at night and cache their results. Using it can significantly reduce the time required to load the Views page of the SpeechMiner browser-based interface, if it contains a large number of reports. If you want to use this feature, you have to install it and then configure it to run the jobs you want it to run. You can download the installation file at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21916.
